MINIMIZE EARLY DETERIORATION OF BITUMINOUS CONCRETE CHARACTERIZATION OF STIFFNESS, FATIGUE, AND FRACTURE OF BITUMINOUS CONCRETE

THE OBJECTIVE, SCOPE AND RESEARCH TASK PLAN FOR THE PROJECT ARE DESCRIBED. PROCEDURES TO CHARACTERIZE STIFFNESS, FATIGUE, AND FRACTURE ARE TO BE DEVELOPED IN ORDER TO RECOMMEND MIXTURE DESIGN CRITERIA TO LIMIT PREMATURE CRACKING. TWO STUDIES ARE RECOMMENDED: DEVELOPMENT OF LABORATORY PROCEDURES TO MEASURE STIFFNESS OF BITUMINOUS CONCRETE AND DEVELOPMENT OF CORRELATIONS BETWEEN FATIGUE TESTS AND READILY OBTAINABLE MIXTURE PARAMETERS, SUCH AS TENSILE STRENGTH.
