Abstract:

Significant progress to address this issue was made in a comprehensive research effort as part of two national pooled fund studies addressing low temperature cracking in the US. Two fracture methods were thoroughly investigated and were proposed for standardization: the Disc-Shaped Compact Tension DC(T) test and the Semi Circular Bend (SCB) test. Recently, a simpler test that combines the advantages of both DC(T) and SCB configurations has been developed and successfully used in Spain, the Fénix test. This paper presents the results from the application of SCB and Fénix tests in the assessment of fracture behavior of different types of mixtures and the effect of both loading rate and temperature have on the results obtained. The study was conducted jointly by the University of Minnesota (UM) and UPC-BarcelonaTech (UPC).
