Research on Fatigue Failure of Asphalt Mixtures and Pavements in Nebraska

The primary objective of this research is to find out optimum treatment of hydrated lime for Superpave mixes used in Nebraska by performing fatigue study in conjunction with research findings from Nebraska Department of Roads (NDOR) project P564 “Material Selection and Design Consideration for Moisture Damage of Asphalt Pavement” that is currently conducted by PI. Furthermore, this study will also include a development of simple and reliable fatigue testing apparatus/protocol using MTS (Materials Testing System) device installed at UNL. Research outcomes will be fundamental bases for improving asphalt pavement design of Nebraska.
