MODELING PERMANENT DEFORMATION OF ASPHALT-AGGREGATE MIXES (WITH DISCUSSION)

This paper presents some advances in the characterization of asphalt-aggregate mixes in light of the use of finite element technology to predict permanent deformation in pavements. Although fatigue and thermal cracking may affect permanent deformation, those mechanisms will not be considered in the material characterization section as they are considered to be of secondary importance. The objective of this study is to provide better insight into rut development, and establish the foundations for the prediction of rut evolution in pavement structures.
