A Straightforward Procedure to Characterize Nonlinear Viscoelastic Response of Asphalt Concrete at High Temperatures

“…Rutting and fatigue damage are two major forms of distress that cause the most concern in asphalt concrete pavements, as they affect both serviceability and safety over the performance life of asphalt pavements. Rutting-permanent deformation under the wheels' path-is more dominant at high temperatures, and fatigue damage-evolution of micro-cracks and microvoids-generally is more problematic at low and intermediate temperatures (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9). Several prominent studies have been conducted regarding constitutive modeling of rutting and fatigue damage mechanisms resulting in proposed (visco-)plastic and (visco-)damage constitutive relationships (10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19).…”
