Popis: | Reflection cracking is a critical issue in asphalt overlay pavement. Temperature variation and traffic loading are the main fracture modes acting on the material. In this paper, a multi-modal overlay tester is proposed for the evaluation of the reflection cracking resistance of an asphalt mixture, an approach that simulates three loading modes on asphalt specimens. A fine dense-grade hot mix asphalt is used as the test specimen and subjected to different loading conditions such as single Mode I, II, and III loading simulations and combined I+II and I+II+III loading simulations. Results show coefficients of variation (CVs) of 2.5%, 10.3%, and 7.4% for the Mode I, II, and III loading simulations, respectively. Furthermore, the β coefficient, with a CV of 7%, is used to represent the crack resistance of the asphalt mixture. Finally, the crack propagation occurs rapidly when subjected to tension and lateral displacement prior to repeated traffic loading simulations. |
