“…Gao et al [15,16] evaluated the adhesive properties and debonding behavior of asphalt mixtures considering the mineral type and the presence of water and reported that the adhesive and debonding behavior were associated with the chemistry and mineralogical properties of the minerals. Chen et al [17] simulated the pull-off test using the molecular dynamic method and found that the increase of film thickness induced the proportion of cohesion area from 29% to 65%. From the above, it can be concluded that the environmental temperature and experimental setup considerably affected the hybrid failure around bitumen-aggregate interface.…”
