    Introduction
    - Cracks in asphalt mixtures are a common distresses
    that occur due to various factors, including traffic loading,
    temperature variations, and aging.

    UO
    - Cracking resistance refers to the ability of asphalt
    mixtures to withstand these factors without developing
    cracks.
    - Performance tests are designed to evaluate how well
    asphalt mixtures perform under simulated conditions that
    mimic real-world stresses and environments. These tests
    help predict the lifespan and durability of the pavement.

    Highway & Transportation Engineering


    - Balanced Mix Design (BMD) is an approach to designing
    asphalt mixtures that balances the mixture's resistance to
    both cracking and rutting. Unlike traditional methods, which
    might focus on volumetric properties, BMD integrates

    UO
    performance-based testing into the mix design process to
    ensure the mixture meets performance criteria for durability
    and resistance to various forms of distress.
    - High Temperature Performance Asphalt pavements can
    soften and become more susceptible to deformation and
    cracking at high temperatures. Testing the performance of
    asphalt mixtures at high temperatures is crucial to ensure
    they maintain their integrity and resist cracking under such
    conditions.

    Objectives
    - To assess the cracking resistance of asphalt mixtures at elevated
    temperatures.
    - To develop surrogate tests for evaluating the cracking resistance

    UO
    performance of asphalt mixtures.
    - To correlate BMD with surrogate cracking resistance tests to
    create a comprehensive understanding of how mixtures perform
    at high temperatures, Which enables the development of
    predictive models that link laboratory performance results with
    field behavior, making it easier to predict how a mixture will
    perform before it is laid down on the road.

    Aspects to Originality and Novelty in This Study
    - Utilization of Balanced Mixture Design (BMD)
    - Development of Surrogate Performance Tests

    UO
    - Performance Analysis Under High Temperatures
    - Correlation of Surrogate Test Results with Field
    Performance
    - Use of Statistical Analysis and Predictive Modeling
    - Enhancement of Testing Protocols and Development of
