1.1 This test method covers the procedures for preparation, testing, and measurement of asphalt mixture cracking resistance at intermediate temperatures using semi-circular bend (SCB) geometry of laboratory-prepared or pavement core asphalt mixture samples tested monotonically. The SCB sample is a half-disk with a notch cut aligned vertically in parallel with the testing loading. The test method describes the determination of the critical strain energy release rate parameter, Jc, and other parameters determined from the load-displacement curve. These parameters can be used to rank the resistance of asphalt mixtures to cracking.
