Effects of freeze-thaw cycles on fatigue performance of asphalt mixture and development of fatigue-freeze-thaw (FFT) uniform equation

Although it is widely recognized that freeze-thaw cycles can accelerate the performance deterioration and lead to premature failures of asphalt pavements, a quantitative understanding of how it affects the fatigue life is so far still lacking. This study aims to identify the effects of freeze-thaw cycles on fatigue performance of asphalt mixture. For this, the indirect tensile fatigue tests were performed up on the specimens to measure the...
