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. Under repeated traffic loading, the combined effects of creep damage and fatigue damage will shorten its fatigue life. Currently, the evaluation of the fatigue damage of asphalt mixtures rarely considers the combined effects of creep damage and fatigue damage. To solve this problem, a viscoelastic fatigue damage prediction model of an asphalt mixture considering the combined effects of creep damage and fatigue damage is put forward by introducing parameter β and a displacement factor based on theoretical derivations and testing. The results show that the model can embody the viscoelastic fatigue damage essence of asphalt mixtures, and it can also consider the effects of aging degree, temperature, load frequency and stress on fatigue damage of asphalt mixtures. The maximum relative error of the testing and prediction results of fatigue life is 0.15, and it is a reasonable prediction model.

<strong>Resumo</strong>: Os materiais asfálticos apresentam comportamento que pode ser aproximado pela teoria da viscoelasticidade. Nesses materiais, é importante que seja feita a separação entre as respostas viscoelástica não-linear e de dano por fadiga. Este problema é complexo, pois nestas zonas (não-linear e dano) os materiais asfálticos apresentam comportamentos mecânicos semelhantes. Este trabalho apresenta um procedimento experimental e analítico para separação destas zonas em concretos asfálticos. Para isso foi utilizada uma máquina de teste universal (UTM-25) e ensaios de varredura de tensão em diferentes misturas asfálticas. Depois de coletados os valores de deslocamento, foi utilizada uma análise estatística para encontrar a tensão máxima que pode ser aplicada ao material sem que seja invocada a resposta referente ao dano por fadiga. Os resultados mostraram que o valor da tensão de transição está diretamente associado<br />às propriedades do material, e que a rigidez pode ser um fator determinante.<br /><br /><strong>Palavras-chave</strong>: misturas asfálticas, viscoelasticidade não-linear, dano por fadiga, varredura de tensão.<br /><br /><strong>Abstract</strong>: Asphaltic materials are known to have a behavior that can be approximated by the viscoelasticity theory. In these materials it is essential to separate the nonlinear viscoelastic response from the fatigue damage response. This is a complex issue, because both nonlinearity and damage have a similar effect on the material mechanical behavior. This paper presents experimental and analytical procedures for separation of the nonlinear viscoelastic response from the fatigue damage in hot asphalt mixtures (HMA). A Universal Testing Machine 25 was used to perform stress sweep tests in three different HMAs. Once all the strain values were collected for each material, a statistical analysis was used to find the maximum stress that can be applied to the material without invoking the fatigue damage response. The results showed that the transition stress is directly associated with the material properties and stiffness can be a determining factor.<br /><br /><strong>Keywords</strong>: asphalt mixtures, nonlinear viscoelasticity, fatigue damage, stress sweep.
