Abstract: This paper presents a study to determine the optimal rolling patterns for chip seals based on aggregate retention performance. Chip seal sections composed of single seals of granite 78M and CRS-2 emulsion are constructed ...

Abstract: The changes in the stiffness of two asphalt concrete mixtures due to temperature, fatigue damage growth, and healing during rest periods are evaluated using the impact resonance method. The impact resonance method is a ...

Abstract: A viscoelastoplastic continuum damage (VEPCD) model has recently been developed and validated under the auspices of the National Cooperative Highway Research Program 9-19 project, entitled “Advanced Mixture Characterization ...

Abstract: Multiscale modeling is becoming an increasingly useful method of evaluating the behaviors of asphalt concrete. Reasons for this increased interest include the fact that many of the critical behaviors of this material are ...

Abstract: A viscoelastic constitutive model of asphalt mixtures that accounts for the rate-dependent damage growth and microdamage healing is presented in this paper. An elastic continuum damage model, which is based on thermodynamics ...

Abstract: A method for quasi-static analysis of a layered viscoelastic system with different loading and temperature histories is presented. First, the response of the system to the unit step load with a constant temperature is ...

Abstract: This paper presents a mechanistic approach to uniaxial viscoelastic constitutive modeling of asphalt concrete that accounts for damage evolution under cyclic loading conditions. Schapery's elastic-viscoelastic correspondence ...

Abstract: This paper presents a mechanistic approach to constitutive modeling of asphalt concrete under complicated repetitive loading conditions with rest periods. From an extensive literature review, two mechanisms are identified ...
