The mechanical beam fatigue test data were correlated with the actual cyclic temperature loading test data. The developed model was then calibrated for field condition. Finally, the model was used to evaluate fatigue damages of randomly chosen 34 long-term pavement performance (LTPP) test sections from 19 states in the United States.

Fatigue in AC mixtures is defined as the phenomenon causing cracking (consisting of a crack initiation and propagation phase) due to the tensile strains generated in pavements when subjected to load repetition, temperature variation, and inadequate construction practices collectively [3].
The fatigue life measured from laboratory test was compared with Asphalt institute and Shell fatigue model. Input parameters of the fatigue model were flexural stiffness at 50 cycles loading and tensile strain level for the Asphalt Institute model and Shell model. Figure 6 shows comparison of fatigue life from lab measurement with different fatigue
In order to describe the fatigue damage state of asphalt mixture more reasonably, direct tensile tests of the fatigue and the residual strength under stress levels of 1.00 MPa, 0.50 MPa and 0.25 MPa with five parallel tests were carried out. The trabecular specimens of AC-13C asphalt mixture (25 cm …
The calibration results indicate that the proposed model has achieved better prediction than the Asphalt Institute (AI) MS-1 fatigue prediction model in the most common region for the real pavement design life. This model can be an option for Mechanistic-Empirical pavement design and further refined upon verification.
Fatigue damage affects both durability and safety, and it has been the most important distress in asphalt concrete. Fatigue damage occurs as a result of repeated traffic loading. An asphalt mixture is a typical viscoelastic material, and its fatigue damage is related to its viscoelastic properties. …
To solve the fatigue damage problem of asphalt pavements, a lot of research on fatigue damage of asphalt mixtures has been performed, based on damage mechanics. El-Basyouny et al. put forward the fatigue model of the 2002 design guide (DG) model based on the Asphalt Institute MS-1 model. Based on the uniaxial constant strain rate tests, a ...
Bottom-up fatigue cracking is one of the major distresses for asphalt pavements. Accurate prediction of fatigue cracking for asphalt pavement is of paramount importance for a cost-effective pavement design. A fatigue model based on mechanistic-empirical pavement design is modified from an Asphalt Institute model.
This study clarifies the dissipated energy changes during loading and proposes four parameters to define fatigue behaviour of 13-mm dense-graded HMA using bending beam at various strain amplitudes. In addition, a fatigue life threshold, at the transition from stable behaviour to the fatigue failure, is also proposed.

A fatigue performance prediction model of asphalt concrete is developed from a uniaxial constitutive model based on the elastic-viscoelastic correspondence principle and continuum damage mechanics through mathematical simplifications. This fatigue model has a form similar to the phenomenological tensile strain-based fatigue model.

When the influence of modulus is considered for calculating the fatigue life in terms of the M-E PDG fatigue distress prediction equation, at 10 Hz frequency and 200 (upmu upepsilon ), the fatigue life of WMA-Evotherm is greater than HMA, followed by WMA-Sasobit. At 30 Hz frequency, the order of fatigue performance is identical as observed ...

For example, a mix targeted at 5 percent asphalt and 5 percent air voids will suffer a 30 percent reduction in fatigue life if the air-void content exceeds its target by 1 percent but only a 12 percent reduction if the asphalt content is shy of its target by 1 percent.
