Identification of parameter to assess cracking resistance of asphalt mixtures subjected to aging and moisture conditioning

Incorporating 3D image analysis and response surface method to evaluate the effects of moisture damage on reinforced asphalt mixtures using glass and polypropylene fibers

“…It shows that despite the well-understood fact that the crack resistance of the mixtures is normally reduced by moisture damage, the CT index results display that the mixture cracking enhances by F&T cycles. A similar contradiction was reported in previous works [50,51]. Such inconsistency might be related to the test performance at different temperatures.…”
