Time-Temperature-Stress Equivalent Characteristics and Nonlinear Viscoelastic Model of Asphalt Mixture under Triaxial Compressive Stress State

Abstract

To objectively characterize the time-temperature-stress equivalence of viscoelastic properties of asphalt mixture, the triaxial compressive creep test was carried out on an AC-13 asphalt mixture under the conditions of different temperatures and stress states in this paper and the nonlinear variation law of creep deformation was obtained. According to the characteristics of similar creep curves and the principle of time-temperature equivalence, two methods were used to shift the creep compliance under different confining pressure, temperature, and axial stress conditions, and the change of temperature and stress shift factors with confining pressure were obtained; in addition, the creep compliance principal curve was fitted by the Prony series and its principal surface was established. On this basis, the multiple stress creep recovery test under different confining pressures was conducted to measure the parameters of Schapery’s nonlinear viscoelastic model and their variation law with the triaxial stress ratio was obtained, which accurately characterized the synergistic effect of confining pressure and axial stress.
