“…Sustainability 2023, 15, x FOR PEER REVIEW 3 of 17 cracks [9,32]. The OT test is similar to the fatigue test and characterizes the crack resistance degradation of the specimen under fixed deformation [9,33]. To sum up, existing studies have investigated the effect of AR-SAMI on traditional road performance but less on crack resistance.…”

“…Considering only S ft was used in China [31], it is necessary to add D se to evaluate crack resistance. In addition, studies have shown that asphalt mixtures are more likely to form cracks at low temperatures [33]. Therefore, instead of 15 • C BBT, −10 • C BBT results can be used to evaluate crack resistance.…”

Reflective cracking is a common distress of semi-rigid base asphalt pavements and overlay pavement projects. An asphalt rubber stress-absorbing membrane interlayer (AR-SAMI) prepared by waste tires is an effective engineering solution for treating reflective cracking. This method can also reduce black pollution. However, there is no unified test method and index for crack resistance evaluation. In this work, AR-SAMIs with different air voids and gradations were investigated. A small beam bending test (BBT) at −10 °C and 15 °C, crack expansion SCB (CE-SCB) test, low-temperature SCB (LT-SCB) test, and Overlay Test (OT) were performed to evaluate the crack resistance of AR-SAMI comprehensively. Statistical analysis was also performed. Results showed that the crack resistance of AR-SAMI improved as the air voids decreased. The crack resistance of 10-A gradation with more fine aggregate was excellent. However, the AR-SAMI with more coarse aggregate had better crack extension resistance under the condition of pre-existing cracks. There are differences in the evaluation results of different test methods due to the various evaluation focus. The −10 °C BBT, CE-SCB, and OT were recommended to evaluate the crack resistance comprehensively. Research results can guide the evaluation method or index selection of crack resistance and the optimization of AR-SAMI mixture design under different working conditions.

“…Several laboratory tests also consider traffic load. These tests fall into two categories: (1) tests that apply repeated wheel loads over the pavement surface, such as the reflective cracking test (11), and (2) tests that apply vertical loads to simulate vehicular load, such as the bending test conducted at the University of Technology of Cracow in 1993 (12), and that have adopted either static load or dynamic load, including central load and partial load (13,14). However, these test methods that consider only monotonic load are not sufficiently comprehensive to simulate field conditions.…”

“…Reflective cracking, which is a common failure pattern in airfield composite pavements, is generally found in hot-mix asphalt (HMA) overlays. Traffic load and thermal load originating from temperature variations ( 1 – 3 ) contribute to this type of distress. Traffic load induces both bending and shear stress at the bottom of HMA overlays, and thermal load induces cracks adjacent to joints, especially during the winter.…”

Reflective cracking is a common distress in hot-mix asphalt (HMA) overlay. A test method that can provide comprehensive information about reflective cracking is thus needed. In this study, an apparatus named Joint Motion Simulation System (JMSS) was developed, which consists of two hydraulic servo-systems and a temperature chamber. A newly developed reflective cracking test method (NRCTM) based on JMSS was proposed, which is applicable for airport pavement. This method considers the influences of both traffic and thermal loads under controlled temperature conditions. Laboratory tests were conducted to verify both repeatability and sensitivity of the NRCTM. The tests results revealed a coefficient of variation that was lower than 13%, indicating that the NRCTM exhibited satisfactory repeatability. In addition, the method was sensitive to four factors: test temperature, combination of loads, compaction of specimen, and type of mixture. Moreover, three types of interlayer structures were evaluated with the NRCTM: geotextile, stress-absorbing layers, and atactic polypropylene modified linoleum. The geotextile performed better than the other two interlayer systems. Thus, the NRCTM can be used for measuring the reflective cracking in HMA overlay with acceptable repeatability and sensitivity.
