EVALUATION OF ASPHALT MIXTURES FOR THEIR SUSCEPTIBILITY TO RUTTING

Permanent deformation of asphalt concrete mixtures is a complex phenomenon, which depends on a number of factors including the properties and proportions of the components in the mixture, construction quality, environmental conditions and applied loadings. Experimental evidence shows that asphalt concrete deformation consists of elastic, viscoeleastic, plastic, and viscoplastic components. Several parameters have been suggested over the years for use as measures of resistance to rutting. This study examines the effectiveness of these measures of resistance to rutting and proposes a new measure based on the strain decomposition approach and analysis of triaxial test data.
