Flexural Performance of Asphalt Mixtures under Unnotched SCB Test: Effects of Specimen Thickness, Loading Rate, and Aggregate Gradation
This study systematically investigates how specimen thickness, loading rate, and aggregate gradation influence the flexural performance of asphalt mixtures in un-notched semi-circular bending tests, revealing that specimen thickness significantly affects measured properties and necessitating the standardization of testing parameters for reliable performance comparisons.
