Mixed mode-I/II fatigue performance of Cement Emulsified Asphalt Mortar: Experimental and statistical analysis at intermediate temperature

Predicting fracture behavior (mixed‐modes I/III) of cement asphalt mortar under fatigue and static loading conditions using response surface method

“…The specimens then developed a 0.6 (a/t) depth-to-thickness ratio diagonal edge crack. 12,36 Figure 4 shows the process of producing specimens.…”

“…The variation among fatigue life in these two fracture modes increases with the increment in the loading frequency as well as the cement content. 12 The modes of fracture can also affect the extent of change in static and cyclic fracture properties. In a study by Ameri et al, they assessed the static and cyclic fracture characteristics of CEAM utilizing the mixed-mode-I/ II loading by conducting the fracture energy calculations.…”

Using beam and ENDB specimens to evaluate fracture characteristics of wavy steel fiber‐reinforced self‐compacting concrete containing different coarse aggregate volumes

“…Using finite element modeling of ASFPB specimens, Ayatollahi and Aliha 37 studied the close‐to‐crack‐tip stresses carefully and concluded that when the load was applied close to the crack line, it had greater effects on the Mode I fracture toughness. Aliha and Fattahi Amirdehi 38 and Xiongzhou et al 39 used edge crack semicircular bend (SCB) samples to examine the fracture behavior/toughness of asphalt mixtures and claimed that they were suitable for laboratory setup and involved an easy implementation method to evaluate the fracture characteristics 40,41 . Edge notched disk bend (ENDB) that was first presented by Aliha et al 42 is the type that has recently been popular with researchers due to its simple geometry, ease of preparation, and easy laboratory setup, which help evaluate the specimen behavior under different single and combined loading modes 43–52 .…”

[43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52] Studying the effects of fibers on the concrete fracture toughness, Aliha et al 15 concluded that using forta-ferro fibers in concrete increased the cracking resistance of ENDB specimens under pure loading modes I and III.…”
