ELASTIC AND FATIGUE BEHAVIOR OF EMULSIFIED ASPHALT PAVING MIXES
The use of elastic-theory-based asphalt pavement structural design procedures which utilize basic dynamic stress-strain properties of pavement materials has several advantages. One important potential advantage is the opportunity for more economical and better use of local aggregates. To realize this advantage, appropriate physical properties of materials comprising the various pavement layers must be known or determined. Information is needed concerning the elastic properties of all the pavement layers and the fatigue properties of asphalt-bound layers. Information about these properties, and test methods for determining them, are fairly well developed for hot-mix asphalt paving. Less information is available for emulsified asphalt mixes. This report presents results of laboratory studies using various methods to determine elastic and fatigue properties of emulsified asphalt paving mixes.
