State of the Art. II: Permanent Strain Response of Unbound Aggregates
Publication: Journal of Transportation Engineering
Volume 126, Issue 1
Abstract
The permanent strain behavior of unbound aggregates under repeated loading has been studied by many researchers over the years. A summarized review of the research into this area is given based on the literature available to date. Different views from various sources are outlined and discussed. A state of the art is presented regarding the factors affecting the permanent strain development in these materials and the modeling techniques available. This paper is the second of two companion papers discussing the current state of knowledge on the structural behavior of unbound aggregates. The resilient properties of these materials are reviewed in detail in the first paper.
