TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluate the material properties of a conventional (control) and fiber-reinforced asphalt mixtures using advanced material characterization tests, including triaxial shear strength, dynamic modulus, repeated load permanent deformation, fatigue, crack propagation, and indirect tensile strength tests.

TL;DR: A review of the MSCR test from its development, validation to new improvements in test protocol and analysis method is provided in order to develop a comprehensive understanding of the test and propose a better M SCR test protocol than the one being currently used.

TL;DR: The dynamic modulus (E*) test has gained wider use in the pavement community for two reasons: it is a major input into the Guide for Mechanistic-Empirical Design of New and Rehabilitated Pavement Structures and is being used as a simple performance test indicator as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: Pavement performance in warm climate regions is dominated by different environmental factors than those found for cold climate regions, and the ANN modelling technique produced the most accurate asphalt pavement performance models.

TL;DR: Enzyme-induced carbonate precipitation (EICP) has been described as a bioinspired solution for ameliorating the mechanical properties of soil by precipitating calcium carbonate to bond sand.
