Abstract:

Portland cement concrete (PCC) / asphalt concrete (AC) bonded components are seen in both conventional pavement structures as well as overlays. Due to the environmental and traffic loads, cracks occur at the interface of the PCC and AC layers and finally, may propagate through the interface or one of the layers. Therefore, the evaluation of bond strength between these layers is important. This paper investigates bond strength between AC and PCC using a new sandwich test specimen. The developed specimen, called Bi-material semi-circular bend (BSCB) is made of AC and the PCC, cracked at the interface of the materials. First, the suggested specimen is introduced and characterized using finite element simulation. Then, the specimen is employed to obtain bond strength between AC and PCC under mixed mode loading, and at two temperatures: -20°C and 20°C. The fracture toughness at different mixed mode conditions is obtained, and finally, fracture criterion for the tested bonded joints is presented.
