NEW IDEAS ON THE RESISTANCE OF ASPHALT TO FATIGUE

Fatigue is the loss of strength of a material prior to failure. It can be described by the bearable number of load cycles to fracture in a stress controlled swelling tensile test. In this report the results of experimental work are presented, analysed with the help of evolution strategy and mathematically described. From this it is possible to estimate the influence of the filler content, the binder content, the bitumen viscosity and the void content of asphalt aggregate mixtures in compacted condition as internal factors and the influence of the test temperature and the sum of cryogenic and traffic induced tensile stresses as external factors on the bearable number of load cycles to failure quantitatively. This knowledge should be used in practice. For the covering abstract see ITRD E107185.
