A prediction model for determining the fracture toughness of saturated asphalt concrete in sub-zero temperatures

Cracks in asphalt concrete due to decreasing temperatures are common in cold regions. As the number of temperature cycles increases, crack growth accelerates. After precipitation, water enters the asphalt’s air voids, and in sub-zero temperatures, the formation of ice crystals causes further damage,...
