A semi-empirical model for top-down cracking depth evolution in thick asphalt pavements with open-graded friction courses

Thick asphalt pavements with open-graded friction course (OGFC) are exposed to top-down cracking (TDC), a distress consisting of longitudinal cracks that initiate on the pavement surface close to the wheel path and propagate downwards. The main objective of this study is to develop a semi-empirical...
