ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT: Low temperature cracking remains one of the major pavement distresses in asphalt concrete pavements in cold regions. An integrated laboratory testing, field performance data, and numerical simulation approach was used to study thermal cracking as part of a US National Pooled Fund Study on Low-Temperature Cracking. This paper focuses on testing, analysis, and field data from five controlled test sections at the Minnesota Road Research Program facility (MnROAD).
