Asphalt Materials and Mixtures 2012, Volume 4

TRB’s Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, No. 2296 consists of 15 papers that explore dynamic modulus master curves; the self-healing capability of asphalt mixtures; permanent deformation of asphalt concrete in compression; asphalt concrete fatigue analysis; hot-mix asphalt permanent deformation; calibration and validation of overlay tester-based fatigue cracking model; and asphalt mixture performance tester evaluation.

This issue of the TRR also examines the oxidative aging effect on asphalt mixture properties; quantifying healing in asphalt composites; rutting of hot-mix asphalt designed for high tire pressure aircraft; thermal stress in asphalt mixtures during hardening; measuring fracture properties of asphalt mixtures; determining damage development in hot-mix asphalt; measuring fatigue damage of asphalt mixes using scanning laser detection system; and loading mode effects on asphalt concrete viscoelastic and damage properties.
