Stiffness Loss in Flexible Pavements due to Cumulative Loading
Abstract
A model of the degradation of the stiffness of asphalt road surfaces with cumulative loading is described. It predicts the reduction in effective elastic modulus of the asphaltic material in a flexible pavement due to cumulative fatigue damage. The model is suitable for use with flexible pavement analysis procedures.
