The paper presents an experimental study of deformability of beams made of cement and asphalt-cement matrices with addition of rubber powder 25÷40% in relation to binders. 4-Point Bending (4-PB) tests were performed with series of specimens after 28 days of hardening. Tests were done at various temperatures, i.e. 5°C, 23°C and 50°C. Monitoring of deformation process was fully recorded by Digital Image Correlation (DIC) system ARAMIS up to the final failure.The cracks in the asphalt-cement matrices with rubber powder initiate when stress state exceeded about 50% of their flexural strength (fct,flex2). The obtained experimental results lead to the general conclusion that addition of rubber powder to different matrices causes increase of deformability, from 2 to 3 times in relation to the pure cement matrix. Moreover, it can be stated that composite materials such as asphalt-cement concrete (ACC), mineral-cement-emulsion mixes (MCEM) with rubber powder additive are more flexible in comparison to the pure cement concrete (CC).
