Development of a multi-modal overlay tester for the evaluation of asphalt overlay cracking behaviors

Reflection cracking is a critical issue in asphalt overlay pavement. Temperature variation and traffic loading are the main fracture modes acting on the material. In this paper, a multi-modal overl...
