IntroductionIntroduction
Superpave mix design procedureProduct of SHRP
Different design levels based on traffic levelVolumetric mix design (<106 ESALS)Intermediate analysis (up to 107 ESALS)Complete analysis (> 107 ESALS)

IntroductionIntroduction
Superpave volumetric mix designNo mechanical test to check performance!!!–Marshall method included mechanical test
In the past years comprehensive research efforts to develop
A simple performance test (SPT)To provide material parameters for use in
pavement design (AASHTO 2002)

Introduction Introduction
Recent research efforts (NCHRP 9-19, 1-37A) indicate that
Complex Dynamic Modulus is a strong candidate for both pavement design and SPT

Complex Dynamic ModulusComplex Dynamic Modulus
Not a new concept (Papazian, 1962)Different research projects over the years
Various combinations of frequencies and temperaturesCompression, tension-compression, tension
Most comprehensive in the past yearsProfessor Witzack and his research team–Compression
– Uniaxial loading– Triaxial loading

BackgroundBackground
Based on linear viscoelasticity conceptsControlled sinusoidal load applied to cylindrical
specimenDeformation (strain) measured at different
locations on the sampleTwo fundamental parameters determined–The absolute value |E*|–Phase angle, δ

Recent study shows that|E*| from unconfined test performed at 54.4C
correlates best with rutting–Confinement may be required for SMA and open-graded mixtures|E*| good indicator of fatigue cracking|E*| not a good indicator for thermal cracking–Need Fracture Mechanics
