Abstract
Development of normal stress in the direction perpendicular to the asphalt mixture is an important feature of the nonlinear viscoelastic behavior of asphalt binders. In this paper, this phenomenon was studied with the help of stress-relaxation experiments in torsion. Results indicate that stress relaxation test by controlling strain could be used to evaluate the stress relaxation ability of asphalt mixture. With the aging degree of asphalt mixtures increased, the low temperature cracking resistance got worse; the higher the temperature is, the faster the stress relaxed; the smaller the initial strain, the worse the stress relaxation ability also. The viscoelasticity of asphalt mixture could be simulated by exponential model fractional and the experiments well supported the modeling results.
