Development of normal stress in the direction perpendicular to the asphalt mixture is an important feature of the nonlinear viscoelastic behavior of asphalt binders. In this paper, this phenomenon was studied with the help of stress-relaxation experiments in torsion.  Results indicate that stress relaxation test by controlling strain could be used to evaluate the stress relaxation ability of asphalt mixture. With the aging degree of asphalt mixtures increased, the low temperature cracking resistance got worse; the higher the temperature is, the faster the stress relaxed; the smaller the initial strain, the worse the stress relaxation ability also. The viscoelasticity of asphalt mixture could be simulated by exponential model fractional and the experiments well supported the modeling results.

Connective soft tissues exhibit time-dependent, or viscoelastic, behavior. In order to characterize this behavior, stress relaxation experiments can be performed to determine the tissue’s relaxation modulus. Theoretically, the relaxation modulus describes the stress relaxation behavior of the tissue in response to an instantaneous (step) application of strain. However, a step increase in strain is experimentally impossible and a pure ramp load is intractable due to the inertial limitations of the testing device. Even small deviations from an instantaneous strain application may cause significant errors in the determination of the tissue’s relaxation modulus.
