ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT: The role of asphalt modifiers and/or modified fillers on the cracking behaviour of asphalt mixtures is extremely complex and has not been fully explained. To characterize the mechanical influence of fillers on asphalt mixture cracking behaviour it is essential to assess the viscoelastic properties of the mastic. Accurate description of strain evolution and distribution in mastics is essential for revealing significant information on mixtures macroscopic behaviour.
