Fatigue Modeling as Related to Flexible Pavement Design: State of the Art

A literature review of fatigue modeling of flexible pavements is presented. Focus is on different approaches used for fatigue modeling as it relates to flexible pavement design. A brief description of different types of pavement design methods is given, with intent directed at presenting different views on fatigue modeling. The design methods involve either modeling fatigue on a purely empirical basis using semi-mechanistic methods or as intrinsic constitute behavior using numerical methods. Also included is a description of three broad categories of fatigue approaches used for asphalt fatigue characterization.
