This E-Circular captures the information exchanged during the 97th Annual Meeting of the Transportation Research Board in a session titled Relationship Between Laboratory Cracking Tests and Field Performance of Asphalt Mixtures. The session explored the work that has gone into a variety of laboratory asphalt mixture cracking test methods to improve the durability of asphalt mixtures. Five papers are presented that cover: development and validation of the IDEAL cracking test from Texas; the semicircular bending and fracture method from Louisiana that measures a strain energy release rate; the Illinois Flexibility Index Test; a disc-shaped fracture testing methodology; and a balance mixture design to enhance asphalt mixture durability.
