Fracture properties of asphalt mixtures using semi-circular bending test: A state-of-the-art review and future research

Although many fracture test procedures are available, the semi-circular bending (SCB) test has drawn a growing interest in the pavement community due to its simplicity, reproducibility, and flexibility in testing and evaluation. In this direction, fracture properties of asphalt mixtures are currently being evaluated using SCB test with the application of fracture mechanics to characterize low-temperature and fatigue fracture using the standard...
