The aim of this study is to assess the viscoelastic parameters (i.e., phase angle and dynamic modulus) of asphalt concrete-wearing course (AC-WC) and hot rolled sheet-wearing course (HRS-WC) mixtures obtained from the dynamic modulus test. This study was accomplished in four stages: determining optimum asphalt content using Marshall mix design procedure, stability and flow parameters from Marshall test, viscoelastic parameters from dynamic modulus testing and finally the generation of dynamic modulus master curves at a reference temperature of 25 °C. The results showed that at the same temperature, the dynamic modulus of AC-WC and HRS-WC mixtures tended to increase with escalating the loading frequency, while dynamic modulus decreases with an increase in the test temperature at constant loading frequency. Furthermore, the dynamic modulus of the AC-WC mixture was recorded as 100% higher than the HRS-WC asphalt mixture. The phase angle, however, showed contradictory behavior with that shown in dynamic modulus. The phase angle of the AC-WC mixture and HRS-WC asphalt mixture showed almost the same behavior. Similarly, the dynamic modulus master curves of AC-WC and HRS-WC asphalt mixtures can be used to predict the dynamic modulus at the frequency range of 0.01 to 10 Hz and a reference temperature of 25 °C. The results were also used to evaluate the rutting and fatigue performance of AC-WC and HRS-WC.

Asphalt migration is one of the significant detrimental effects on asphalt pavement performance. In order to simulate the state after the occurrence of asphalt migration amid asphalt pavement layers and further investigate the effects of asphalt migration on the dynamic modulus of asphalt mixture, samples with different asphalt contents layers were firstly separated into the upper and lower half portions and then compacted together. By conducting the dynamic modulus test with the Superpave Simple Performance Tester (SPT), the variation laws of the dynamic modulus (|E*|) and the phase angle (δ) at different testing temperatures and loading frequencies were analyzed in this paper. Further, the dynamic modulus and the stiffness parameter (|E*|/sinδ) at the loading frequency of 10 Hz and testing temperature of 50 °C were illustrated. Simultaneously, the master curves of the dynamic modulus and phase angle of asphalt mixtures under different testing conditions were constructed to better investigate the effects of asphalt migration on the dynamic modulus by means of Williams–Landel–Ferry (WLF) equation and Sigmoidal function. Results show that, after the asphalt migration, the dynamic modulus of asphalt mixtures increase with the increasing loading frequency while they decrease with the increasing testing temperature; the dynamic modulus and the stiffness parameter are the highest when asphalt mixtures have the optimum asphalt content layers, and then decrease with the incremental difference of asphalt content in the upper and lower half portions. Besides this, different from the master curves of dynamic modulus, the master curves of phase angle firstly increase with the increase of loading frequency to the highest point and then decrease with the further increase of loading frequency and are not as smooth as that of dynamic modulus. It can be concluded that the asphalt migration has compromised the mixture’s mechanical structure, and the more asphalt migrates, the weaker the mechanical properties of asphalt mixture will be. Additionally, based on the shift factors and master curves in the time–temperature superposition principle (TTSP), the effects of asphalt migration on the dynamic modulus and the variation laws of the dynamic modulus of asphalt mixture after the occurrence of asphalt migration can be better construed at the quantitative level.

To identify the most accurate approach for constructing of the dynamic modulus master curves for warm mix crumb rubber modified asphalt mixtures and assess the feasibility of predicting the phase angle master curves from the dynamic modulus ones. The SM (Sigmoidal model) and GSM (generalized sigmoidal model) were utilized to construct the dynamic modulus master curve, respectively. Subsequently, the master curve of phase angle could be predicted from the master curve of dynamic modulus in term of the K-K (Kramers–Kronig) relations. The results show that both SM and GSM can predict the dynamic modulus very well, except that the GSM shows a slightly higher correlation coefficient than SM. Therefore, it is recommended to construct the dynamic modulus master curve using GSM and obtain the corresponding phase angle master curve in term of the K-K relations. The Black space diagram and Wicket diagram were utilized to verify the predictions were consistent with the LVE (linear viscoelastic) theory. Then the master curve of storage modulus and loss modulus were also obtained. Finally, the creep compliance and relaxation modulus can be used to represent the creep and relaxation properties of warm-mix crumb rubber-modified asphalt mixtures.

Two types of high modulus asphalt mixtures are introduced. Dynamic modulus and phase angle of these two mixtures are tested with Simple Performance Testing System under different temperatures, loading frequencies and confining pressures. Based on time-temperature superposition principle, dynamic modulus master curves and time-temperature shift factors at reference temperature are obtained using nonlinear square least square regression, and phase angle master curves are constructed utilizing the same time-temperature shift factors. The influence of confining pressure on mechanical properties of high modulus asphalt mixture is discussed.

This research characterizes the performance of various plant-produced asphalt concrete mixtures by dynamic modulus|E∗|test using asphalt mixture performance tester (AMPT). Marshall designed specimens of seven different mixtures were prepared using the Superpave gyratory compactor and subjected to sinusoidal compressive loading at various temperatures (4.4 to 54.4°C) and loading frequencies (0.1 to 25 Hz). A catalog of default dynamic modulus values for typical asphalt concrete mixtures of Pakistan was established by developing stress-dependent master curves separately, for wearing and base course mixtures. The sensitivity of temperature and loading frequency on determination of dynamic modulus value was observed by typical isothermal and isochronal curves, respectively. Also, the effects of various variables on dynamic modulus were investigated using statistical technique of two-level factorial design of experiment. Furthermore, two dynamic modulus prediction models, namely, Witczak and Hirsch, were evaluated for their regional applicability. Results indicated that both the Witczak and Hirsch models mostly underpredict the value of dynamic modulus for the selected conditions/mixtures. The findings of this study are envisaged to facilitate the implementation of relatively new performance based mechanistic-empirical structural design and analysis approach.

The main objective of this paper was to develop a mesostructure-based finite element model of rubber modified asphalt mixture to predict both the dynamic modulus master curve and phase angle master curve under a large frequency range. The asphalt mixture is considered as a three-phase material consisting of aggregate, asphalt mortar, and air void. The mesostructure of the asphalt mixture was digitized by a computed tomography (CT) scan and implemented into finite element software. The 2S2P1D model was used to obtain the viscoelastic information of an asphalt mortar under a large range of frequencies and temperatures. The continuous spectrum of the 2S2P1D model was converted to a discrete spectrum and characterized by the generalized Maxwell model for numerical simulation. The Prony series parameters of the generalized Maxwell model and the elastic modulus of the aggregates were inputted into the finite element analysis as material properties. The dynamic modulus tests of a rubber modified asphalt mortar and asphalt mixture were conducted under different temperatures and loading frequencies. The dynamic modulus master curve and phase angle master curve of both asphalt mortar and asphalt mixture were constructed. The frequency of the finite element simulations of the dynamic modulus tests ranged from 10−6 to 104. The dynamic modulus and phase angle of the asphalt mixture was calculated and the master curves were compared with the master curves obtained from the experimental data. Furthermore, the effect of the elastic modulus of aggregates on the master curves was analyzed. Acceptable agreement between dynamic modulus master curves obtained from experimental data and simulation results was achieved. However, large errors between phase angle master curves appeared at low frequencies. A method was proposed to improve the prediction of the phase angle master curve by adjusting the equilibrium modulus of the asphalt mortar.

Tide phenomenon that often occurs in the coastal areas of Indonesia resulted in flooding, which is called the tidal flood. A tidal flood overflow phenomenon of sea water inland. Often some of the roads located in coastal areas are flooded by tidal flood and often causing some damages to the road. Therefore it is necessary to investigate the effect caused by tidal inundation or water bath for asphalt pavement.This research aims to know the durability performance of asphalt concrete mixtures with marinade modification Marshall. The study was conducted with two standard methods of soaking in tidal water and laboratory. Water Immersion method is made by soaking continuous (continuous) and periodic (intermittent). Soaking the specimen in water tidal variation within 6 hours; 12 hours; 24 hours; 48 hours; and 72 hours. While the periodic immersion done by soaking the specimen for 12 hours, then removed during the next 12 hours during 3-days. To view the durability performance of asphalt concrete mixtures used indicator Index of Retained Stability (IRS), Stability Deformation Index, namely First Durability Index (IDP), and the Second Durability Index (IDK).The results showed that continuous immersion damage effects mix quicker on asphalt mixtures than regular immersion. Tidal water used to soak the asphalt mixture Hot Rolled Sheet-Wearing Course (HRS-WC) either continuous or periodic method, has a greater influence than the use of laboratory water. It is shown by the value of the durability of asphalt mixture soaked-tidal water smaller than water-soaked asphalt mixture laboratory standards.
