Abstract: Beam fatigue testing of hot-mix asphalt (HMA) in the laboratory has been used for several decades by many researchers around the world. A total of two standard procedures are currently available: one that controls constant ...

Abstract: Fatigue cracking and permanent deformation (rutting) are major distresses that occur in flexible pavements. One of the most significant solutions to prolong the fatigue life as well as rutting resistance for an asphaltic ...

Abstract: Hydrated lime and liquid antistrip agents have long been used as an asphalt additive to improve resistance to moisture damage. Previous studies have shown that the addition of hydrated lime to asphalt binders reduced the ...

Abstract: Perpetual pavements, if properly designed and rehabilitated, last longer than 50 years without major structural rehabilitation. The fatigue endurance limit (EL) is a key parameter for designing perpetual pavements to ...

Abstract: Dynamic modulus is a key material property to predict the performance of flexible pavements. Several prediction models have been developed worldwide to predict the dynamic modulus from aggregate, binder, and mixture ...
