THERMAL FATIGUE DAMAGE OF ASPHALT PAVEMENT
Fatigue damage can be defined by a decrease in stiffness of Asphalt Concrete (AC) under repeated traffic loading. For each cycle of traffic loading, tensile strain develops at the bottom of AC layer of an asphalt pavement. Some localized damages occur in the material at minute-scale due to this …

Performance Evaluation of Asphalt Mixtures with Tire Rubber Modified Binder
… by means of dynamic modulus master curves, fatigue cracking, permanent deformation, and reflective cracking resistance. Dynamic modulus tests were conducted using the Asphalt Mixture Performance Tester (AMPT) device and the master curves were built using AASHTO R84 standard procedure for …

Investigation of Fatigue Properties of Superpave HMA at the Virginia Smart Road
… the influence of material properties on fatigue life through laboratory fatigue testing of eleven Superpave hot mix asphalt (HMA) mixtures in use at the Virginia Smart Road. Mixtures were sampled from the plant and produced in the laboratory to investigate the influence of production …

Structural health monitoring of onshore wind turbine foundations
… for strain measurement during direct static and fatigue experimentation. To validate industrial results and further test metallic bonding of FBGs, a unique low-cost small-scale fatigue testing machine is designed and demonstrated for cracked concrete beam fatigue tests.;Transitioning from …

Effects of Coarse Aggregate Morphological Characteristics on Mechanical Performance of Stone Matrix Asphalt
… loading, dynamic modulus, flow number, and beam fatigue. The wheel tracking test included asphalt pavement analyzer (APA) and Model mobile load simulator (MMLS). In the APA test, samples included eight types of SMA mixtures that consisted of aggregates of 22 fractions. In the MMLS test, six …

Material Characteristics of Hot Mix Asphalt and Binder Using Freeze-Thaw Conditioning
… study investigates the effect of freeze-thaw on fatigue life and material characteristics of Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) and binder. Since, temperature is variable throughout the year, a constant temperature should not be assumed when finding the fatigue life and material characteristics of HMA. To …

Impact of Anti-Strip Additives on Performance of Asphalt Pavements
… stages.The resistance of the mixtures to fatigue cracking was assessed in a separate study. The developed relationship between the bending strain in the HMA mix and number of load repetitions to failure under beam fatigue testing conditions at the un-conditioned and moisture-conditioned …
