Dissipated Energy Concepts for HMA Performance: Fatigue and Healing

Abstract

227 p.Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2006.The uniqueness of the RDEC relationship allows it to be implemented into a pavement structural (thickness) design procedure. This procedure has the ability to utilize existing pavement response values with mixture properties to generate the PV-Nf relationship validated in this thesis. It also has the future capability of directly utilizing viscoelastic pavement responses when these structural models are integrated into a pavement analysis procedure.U of I OnlyRestricted to the U of I community idenfinitely during batch ingest of legacy ETD
