This paper deals with laboratory testing of asphalt belts shear response at different temperatures using temperature controlled room. Test results of asphalt belts shear response, resp. depending derived there from, are then used to develop new computational methods for assessment of structures with applied sliding joint. Sliding joints are used to reduce friction in foundation structures, concrete floors or eg. for pre-stressed foundations for reducing friction between the foundation and the subsoil during pre-stressing.
