Investigating fatigue life prediction of rubber asphalt mixture based on damage evolution using residual strain analysis approach

This study aims to develop the fatigue life (Nf) prediction method of rubber asphalt mixture based on residual strain (RS) analysis by using three-point bending fatigue test. The RS mechanical model established based on the modified Burgers model was used to characterize the evolution laws of RS, the residual viscoelastic strain (RVES) and the residual viscous-flow strain (RVFS), and the mechanical parameter of residual strain ratio (RSR) was...
