Characterization of Asphalt Concrete and Cement-Treated Granular Base Course.

摘要

The objective of this study was to determine the applicability of elasticity and viscoelasticity for the characterization of asphalt concrete and cement-treated base course for use in the structural design of pavements. In the context of the available methods of structural design,linear elasticity and viscoelasticity can adequately characterize asphalt concrete provided it is recognized that it is necessary to use approximate procedures to include various response characteristics which are not modelled by the chosen constitutive law.
