However, cracking process in asphalt mixtures in a three dimensional scale is still a great challenge to road engineers.
The specially designed loading system is the necessary accessory for the CT machine at the State Key Laboratory of Frozen Soil Engineering of China.
The CT test was carried out in the State Key Laboratory of Frozen Soil Engineering from Aug.24 to Sept.10, 2006.The asphalt concrete samples were used to study the crack propagation law under uniaxial compression with CT real-in time scanning test .For each sample there were three cross sections from top to bottom.
