Hartman Wheeltracking Fatigue Simulation of Bituminous Mixtures 2001.0 24 .pdf application/pdf 5166 430 62 facility permitted the testing of large slab specimens (305x305x50mm) using dynamic wheel analysis techniques were utilised to monitor the initiation and propagation of fatigue cracks Crack damage was seen to initiate on the bottom face of the slab specimen in a direction Monitoring cracks on the bottom of slab specimens is very labour intensive. (Top right) View of facility during crack monitoring with slab specimens pavement specimen to bend under the wheel load without deforming under the Typical recorded levels of strain as the loaded wheel moves over a slab DBC slabs tested at the same load measured in the DBC specimens also decreased with reduced test loads. The HRA and DBC slabs that were tested at the same loading conditions and repeatedly tracked with a one directional dynamic wheel load, fatigue cracks orientation of these cracks was similar to those in the DBC slabs that had been tested ./cache/work_koahckmutjgttf5zgolv5rbgha.pdf ./txt/work_koahckmutjgttf5zgolv5rbgha.txt
