    Development of a stress-mode sensitive viscoelastic constitutive relationship for asphalt concrete: experimental and numerical modeling

    , Article Mechanics of Time-Dependent Materials ; Volume 21, Issue 3 , 2017 , Pages 383-417 ; 13852000 (ISSN) Karimi, M. M ; Tabatabaee, N ; Jahanbakhsh, H ; Jahangiri, B ; Sharif University of Technology

    Abstract
    Asphalt binder is responsible for the thermo-viscoelastic mechanical behavior of asphalt concrete. Upon application of pure compressive stress to an asphalt concrete specimen, the stress is transferred by mechanisms such as aggregate interlock and the adhesion/cohesion properties of asphalt mastic. In the pure tensile stress mode, aggregate interlock plays a limited role in stress transfer, and the mastic phase plays the dominant role through its adhesive/cohesive and viscoelastic properties. Under actual combined loading patterns, any coordinate direction may experience different stress modes; therefore, the mechanical behavior is not the same in the different directions and the asphalt...
