Abstract
In laboratory testing of asphalt mixtures, the relationship between the number of load repetitions and permanent deformation has been found to include three distinct stages, namely the primary, secondary and tertiary stages. Similar permanent deformation behavior has also been observed in the field accelerated pavement testing data. It is argued that the three-stage permanent deformation behavior is a basic material property and to comprehensively model asphalt layer behavior, it is necessary to develop a model that accurately characterizes this behavior. In this paper, each of the well-known models critically reviewed appears that they are limited to characterizing only the primary stage. Therefore, a new three-stage model is proposed to describe all three stages. Moreover, an algorithm is established to determine the model parameters from typical laboratory data. The algorithm can also be used to identify the transition point between stages, such as flow number. The proposed model and algorithm are demo...This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
