      <title>Characterization of the bond between asphalt layers and glass grid layer with help of a Wedge Splitting Test</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/1491701</link>
      <description><![CDATA[With the aim of increasing the durability of pavements, the use of glass fiber grid to reinforce asphalt pavements has received a lot of attention in recent years. Performance of the bond between asphalt layers including a glass fiber grid at the interface is among the important parameters to be investigated. In this work, the Wedge Splitting Test (WST) developed by Tschegg (1986) is chosen to evaluate the bond between such material layers. The aim of this study is to characterize the fracture mechanical behavior of the interface through the specific fracture energy GF. Experiments are performed on specimens extracted from full scale pavement sections. These specimens of significant size (200 × 200 × 150 mm3) are prepared with a cylindrical groove instead of a habitual rectangular groove. As recommended in the literature, a slim wedge of 14° is used to ensure the characterization of the bond in a quasi-pure crack opening mode I. A notch of 5 mm thick is sawn at the interface between the two material layers to guarantee the initiation of the crack at the interface. Tests are controlled with a constant displacement speed rate of 2 mm/min and constant temperatures (superior 20 degrees C). A Digital Image Correlation (DIC) technique is used to evaluate and compare the interface crack propagation in two different configurations with and without grid at the interface.]]></description>

      <title>Experience with the Australian accelerated loading facility</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/1186166</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The accelerated loading facility (alf) applies unidirectional rolling wheel loads, variable between 40 and 80 kn, to a pavement test section of length 12 m in order to simulate several years' heavy vehicle loading in a short time. The first alf field trial was on a heavy duty flexible pavement on the Sydney Newcastle freeway.  A total of 760,000 load passes were applied, corresponding to approximately 11.5 Million esas.  The preliminary results to hand show performance characteristics typical of the early stages of a pavement life cycle.  There was a marked increase in rebound deflection value, followed by relative stability.  The relative rate of rut development for sections of the test strip subjected to different, near uniform, loads corresponds approximately to a fourth power damage relation (a).]]></description>

      <title>The performance of thin asphalt layers containing modified binders under accelerated trafficking</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/1175385</link>
      <description><![CDATA[A series of full scale pavement tests were recently conducted on a distressed section of the South East Highway near Adelaide with the aim of determining the relative performance of alternative forms of asphaltic rehabilitation.  A total of 17 loading experiments were conducted on several completely reinstated and overlayered pavement sections.  The relative performance of the treatments was measured in terms of their resistance to surface deformation and crack propagation.  Preliminary analysis has provided a ranking of deformation resistance of all asphalt materials used with some modified binders displaying significant advantages over conventional C170 bitumen.  Comparative overlay experiments clearly demonstrated a significant extension in treatment life through use of a modified binder in the asphalt overlay.  The strain alleviating membrane interlayer proved to be effective to slow crack propagation (A).]]></description>
