When applying recycled asphalt technology in a flexible pavement project, most of the concerns are related to low-temperature fracture and fatigue cracking, since the stiffness of hot mix asphalt (HMA) mixtures could dramatically increase through adding a high percentage of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) materials. Therefore, the purpose of this research was to evaluate fracture and fatigue ...

Many studies have investigated the fatigue resistance of hot-mix asphalt (HMA) mixtures on the basis of the material properties and structural responses. In this study, a four-point bending-beam fatigue apparatus was used to measure the fatigue life of a typical Michigan HMA mixture under various frequencies (1, 5, and 10 Hz) and temperatures ...

A previous study of an asphalt mix that used SBS as a modifier under a strain of 600 με found that SBS also increased the fatigue life of the asphalt mix [40]. Raad and Saboundjian [41] investigated the fatigue behaviour of the different mixes using controlled- strain third-point flexural beam tests.

The fatigue resistance of hot mix asphalt concrete (HMAC) has been estimated using approaches ranging from empirical methods to mechanistic-empirical methods to purely mechanistic methods. A continuum mechanics based approach called the Calibrated Mechanistic with Surface Energy (CMSE) measurements was developed at Texas A&M University and ...

When one thinks of hot-mix asphalt (HMA) pavement distresses, the following come to mind: thermal cracking, rutting, fatigue cracking, ravel-ing, and moisture-induced damage (stripping). Some of these, such as low temperature and fatigue cracking, are more directly related to the properties of the asphalt cement. The aggregates

When increasing the rutting resistance of asphalt binder, it was unknown that if the BG can affect the fatigue resistance of asphalt binder. The fatigue life is an important factor of flexible asphalt pavement and mostly the fatigue distress in pavements occur due to low temperature [12], [13], [14] .

The paper introduces and analyses the results of an experimental trial on the fatigue resistance of recycled hot mix asphalt for road pavements. Based on the gyratory compaction and the indirect tensile strength test, the mix design procedure has optimized nine different mixes, considering both conventional limestone and Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP), the latter used at different …

This study focuses on characterizing the cracking performance of asphalt pavements in Oregon by considering four tests commonly used to evaluate fatigue cracking resistance and proposing implementation of the most cost-effective and efficient test procedure for agencies and contractors.

It is suggested that it is reasonable when the stiffness modulus was 15–25% that of the initial, which would provide a theoretical basis for exploring the fatigue failure of asphalt pavements. Basalt fiber has been widely used in asphalt mixture due to its excellent mechanical properties and good combination with asphalt. In order to systematically evaluate the enhancement effect of basalt ...

Warm Mix Asphalt is one of the preferred alternatives for paving as it is more environmental friendly than the hot mix asphalt, but with virtually identical results. Increased haul distances from the plant to the site makes it difficult to pave with its reduced workability due to reduction in temperatures over haul time.

achieved by reducing viscosity by one of three approaches: Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) is produced by heating the binder, to reduce viscosity, then combining the hot binder with hot, dry aggregate. 2004Until HMA ... Most of the measurements to determine fatigue and thermal cracking resistance are made on samples following this aging procedure.

The stiffness modulus and the fatigue resistance are measured on standard trapezoidal specimens, by using a strain-controlled two-point bending test (2PB-TR). The experimental results show that, compared to the control mix, the use of RAP increases the stiffness modulus, reduces the phase angle of the mixes and increases the fatigue resistance.

Therefore, this study was undertaken to evaluate the fatigue performance of hot-mix asphalt (HMA) containing RAS and RAP. Specifically, changes in fatigue resistance and cycles to fatigue failure with changes in the amount of RAS and RAP were examined using both flexural fatigue (four-point beam) and axial fatigue (cyclic direct tension) tests ...
