This book discusses the applications of fracture mechanics in the design and maintenance of asphalt concrete overlays. It provides useful information to help re
Premature cracking in asphalt pavements and overlays continues to shorten pavement lifecycles and creates significant economic and environmental burden. In resp
Cracking in asphalt pavements is a challenging problem and has been the subject of numerous research studies for decades. To properly address this problem, suit
A major cause of premature pavement deterioration has been the cracking of the asphalt materials. This study investigates the ability to apply fracture mechanic
