Abstract: This paper examines the question of an appropriate failure criterion for asphalt fatigue characterization. The results presented are based on cyclic fatigue tests and obtained from three mixtures containing different ...

Abstract: In this study, cyclic tension-compression tests on cylindrical specimens are performed in order to investigate fatigue characteristics of bituminous mixtures. Sinusoidal loading is applied at 10 Hz in controlled axial ...

Abstract: The linear viscoelastic properties of bituminous mixtures are used to design pavement structure. Usually, only complex moduli

Abstract: The use of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) in hot asphalt mixtures has been investigated widely, mainly to increase the amount of RAP incorporated into new asphalt mixtures as secondary material. A key point to successfully ...

Abstract: This paper focuses on the influence of air void content and loading frequency on the fatigue resistance properties of bituminous mixtures. Fatigue tension–compression tests were carried out on cylindrical samples of three ...

Abstract: The present paper deals with the energy dissipation induced by the viscous behavior of bituminous materials constituting pavement. An approach to take into account viscous properties of bituminous layers and to quantify ...

Abstract: The mechanical behavior of bituminous mixes is very complex. It is also characterized by great thermal sensitivity. In the small strain domain (for strain amplitudes below approximately

Abstract: This paper focuses on the three-dimensional (3D) linear viscoelastic (LVE) behavior of bituminous mixtures and the damage occurring after a great number of cyclic loadings. Two complex modulus tests were carried out before ...

Abstract: In the framework of recycling techniques employed in maintenance and rehabilitation projects for the road industry, cement bitumen–treated materials (CBTMs) provide good performance as well as economic and environmental ...
