Abstract:Top-down cracking in flexible pavement is one of the most common and crucial modes of pavement distress in Florida, reducing both service quality and life of flexible pavement. The process begins with micro-cracks (micro-damage), which grow and merge to form macro-cracks. Loading and temperature cycles permit some micro-crack healing and may strongly influence the service life of pavement. However, adequate methods to quantify healing do not exist. Central to this problem is the lack of an appropriate testing and interpretation system to measure damage recovery, or healing, rates of asphalt mixtures.
