Fatigue Performance of Rubberized Stone Matrix Asphalt by a Simplified Viscoelastic Continuum Damage Model

AbstractThe study investigated the fatigue performance of rubberized stone matrix asphalt (SMA) in the dry process and compared its fatigue characterization with SMAs with other typical binders. Five SMA mixtures were used with the following asphalt binders: (1) virgin asphalt of PG 67-22, (2) crumb rubber modifier (CRM) modified in wet process, (3) CRM modified in dry process, (4) terminal-blend binder, and (5) styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS) modified binder. Dynamic modulus and direct-tension fatigue tests were performed using the asphalt mixture performance tester (AMPT) system. In addition, improved linear amplitude sweep (LAS) tests were performed on the binders by a dynamic shear rheometer (DSR). The fatigue test data were analyzed by the simplified viscoelastic continuum damage (S-VECD) theory. The results showed that (1) dynamic modulus of the rubberized SMA in the dry process was similar to that of the wet process and higher than that of SMA with virgin asphalt, although a little lower than those...
