This document discusses using digital image correlation and fracture mechanics to characterize cracking in asphalt mixtures. It successfully constructs an R-curve based cumulative fracture energy and finds that crumb rubber and plastic modified asphalt mixtures have high cracking resistance. Digital image correlation was also utilized successfully to quantify the size of the plastic zone.
