Damage Based Model for Prediction of Asphalt Concrete Fatigue Curves
Publication: Journal of Materials in Civil Engineering
Volume 19, Issue 8
Abstract
In order to represent the behavior of asphalt concrete mixtures during fatigue tests, a phenomenological model based on the continuous damage theory has been developed. From this model, a method for estimation of fatigue curves was formulated. From a practical point of view, this method could allow us to estimate classic fatigue curves testing a smaller number of specimens. The formulated method was applied to three mixtures, and results were compared with ones from the standard procedure for determining fatigue curves.
