    This volume highlights the latest advances, innovations, and applications in the field of asphalt pavement technology, as presented by leading international researchers and engineers at the 5th International Symposium on Asphalt Pavements & Environment (ISAP 2019 APE Symposium), held in Padua, Italy on September 11-13, 2019. It covers a diverse range of topics concerning materials and technologies for asphalt pavements, designed for sustainability and environmental compatibility: sustainable pavement materials, marginal materials for asphalt pavements, pavement structures, testing methods and performance, maintenance and management methods, urban heat island mitigation, energy harvesting, and Life Cycle Assessment. The contributions, which were selected by means of a rigorous international peer-review process, present a wealth of exciting ideas that will open novel research directions and foster multidisciplinary collaboration among different specialists

    Chapter 4. Advanced Measurement Systems For Crack Characterization

    No full text
    The previous chapters describe numerical models and testing methods designed to simulate, to repeat and to understand the cracking phenomena in asphalt materials and asphalt pavement (or pavements with at least one asphalt layer). This chapter shows some of the most advanced systems to measure the parameters related to cracking. They are classified using a classification grid that considers the most relevant characteristics of the measurement system. The proposed classification method was designed to provide a quick understanding of what data the systems are able to provide and what they can analyze.</p
