A systematic review of crack resistance in cold recycling mixtures with emulsified asphalt: mechanism, characterization techniques and influencing factors

Key Points

• Crack resistance improves with better emulsified asphalt composition and mixture methods.
• The review identifies specific characterization techniques that effectively assess crack resistance properties.
• Observational analysis across various studies highlights key influencing factors such as temperature, binder properties, and aggregate type.
• Findings may enable the development of more effective cold recycling mixtures, promoting sustainable road construction.
