Abstract

This study was part of an effort to develop a system for evaluating the remaining fatigue life and maintenance strategies for concrete-asphalt pavements. This study developed a model for the mechanical behavior of asphalt that reflects its viscoelastic characteristics. With an existing computational system for nonlinear finite element analysis, the asphalt mechanical model was used to analyze the structural response of asphalt pavements. The viscoelastic behavior of the asphalt was modeled using the Burgers model, and its parameters were validated through dynamic modulus tests on the target asphalt material. The analytical and experimental results were compared under various temperature conditions, material properties, and loading frequencies. The results demonstrated that the proposed asphalt model accurately reproduces the mechanical response of asphalt.
