Fénix Test

Abstract: This paper presents a new direct tensile test to evaluate cracking resistance of asphalt concrete mixtures: the Fénix test. First, the literature on cracking factors and mechanisms of bituminous mixtures, as well as current tests to measure cracking properties, is reviewed. Next, the Fénix test is described, and some initial experimental results of the influence of variables, such as binder type and content and test temperature, are provided. Additionally, test repeatability and sensitivity are statistically a… Show more

“…The Fenix test combines the advantages of both the SCB and DC(T) tests. It shows similar results to the SCB test and has good repeatability (Pérez-Jiménez et al 2010, 2013. However, at very low temperatures the coefficient of variation is higher than in the SCB test.…”

“…The dissipated energy, which is a combination of all energies released during material deformation and cracking, is determined. Test results are sensitive to bitumen content and test temperature; however, a loading rate has a minimal effect on them (Pérez-Jiménez et al 2010, 2013. The higher the bitumen content, the higher the dissipated energy (Pérez-Jiménez et al 2010).…”

“…The Fénix test was applied to evaluate the cracking performance of the specimens. This test, developed by the Road Research Laboratory of the Technical University of Catalonia, is a direct tensile strength test that evaluates the cracking resistance of asphalt mixtures by calculating the dissipated energy during mixture cracking [23]. Asphalt mixtures were Fénix-tested and, based on their stress-displacement curve, two main parameters were considered to explain the cracking response of the tested mixtures (see Figure 1):…”

“…El Laboratorio de Caminos de la UPC ha desarrollado un ensayo de tracción directa denominado ensayo Fénix. El ensayo Fénix es un ensayo experimental, que consiste en determinar el esfuerzo necesario para fisurar una probeta semicilíndrica, aplicando un esfuerzo de tracción en su plano diametral (figura 2.28) (Miró et al, 2014;Pérez-Jiménez et al, 2010.…”
