A single model to describe several properties of bituminous mixes

摘要

In this paper, a generalized model to describe several properties of bituminous mixes, e.g. flexural mix stiffness, tangential mix stiffness, compressive and tensile strength, com-pressive stress at which dilation or non-linearity starts in monotonic compressive test etc, will be presented. The proposed model is based on physical observations and the principle of time-temperature correspondence. The validity of the single model has been shown by predicting values of properties outside the range of the data (extrapolation).
