Fatigue Resistance Of Asphalt Mixtures Research Articles

Quantitative analysis of oxidative aging effects on the fatigue resistance of asphalt mixtures based on the simplified viscoelastic continuum damage (S-VECD) model

Fatigue cracking evolution in asphalt pavement is coupled by the oxidative aging of asphalt binder throughout its lifespan. Identifying the quantitative effects of asphalt binder aging on the fatigue resistance of asphalt mixture is important for the long-life design of asphalt pavements. In this study, two fatigue indexes (DR and Sapp) derived from the simplified viscoelastic continuum damage (S-VECD) model, were used to evaluate the fatigue resistance of laboratory-aged asphalt mixtures. Asphalt binders were extracted from aged asphalt mixtures and tested by using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) to assess their aging state based on two aging indexes, the carbonyl index and the sulfoxide index. It was found that the aging indexes and fatigue indexes are well related through two power functions. Hence, the relationship between aging evolution and fatigue modelling of asphalt mixtures can be well quantified. It is anticipated that these aging-fatigue functions can assist in modelling and predicting the fatigue resistance for asphalt pavements in the field.

Analytical study of silane-based and wax-based additives on the interfacial bonding characteristics between natural rubber modified binder and different aggregate types

The modification of asphalt binder with natural rubber latex (NR) significantly improves the rutting and fatigue resistance of asphalt mixtures. However, NR-modified binder is prone to low workability and wettability due to its high viscosity. Therefore, this research focuses on examining the influences of silane and wax-based additives on the wettability of natural rubber-modified binders and the binder-aggregates adhesion performances. In this study, experimental and analytical approaches were used. The contact angles of asphalt binder were measured using a goniometer through the sessile drop method with three solvents: deionised water, formamide, and glycerol. The C++ algorithm was adopted to compute the surface free energy (SFE) elements of the asphalt binder. Analytical methods were employed to analyse the results based on the Young-Dupre equation, followed by linear regression to establish a correlation between the compatibility ratio (CR) and the SFE components. The results inferred that modified asphalt binders with additives possessed improved moisture resistance, wherein dry work adhesion values were less than 210 ​mJ/m2 under granite interfaces, whereas the limestone interface exhibited higher dry adhesion values of 340 ​mJ/m2 and below. Similar performance results were observed under wet adhesion conditions; with granite wet adhesive values observed below 120 ​mJ/m2, while limestone wet adhesion values were ascertained below 180 ​mJ/m2 for all tested samples and conditions. According to the spread–ability coefficient results, the limestone interface has greater spread-ability than granite interfaces. Meanwhile, compatibility ratio values indicated better compatibility of 1.9 or higher for tested samples under granite interfaces, whereas compatibility values of 1.7 and below were observed under limestone interfaces. Among the SFE components studied for correlation with CR, the acidic SFE component demonstrated excellent correlations (with R2 values greater than 0.91) under all ageing conditions. An inclusion of micro-level additive enhanced binder adhesion properties, resulting in a more resilient asphalt pavement.

Biomass valorization toward sustainable asphalt pavements: Progress and prospects

To cope with the global climate crisis and assist in achieving the carbon neutrality, the use of biomass materials to fully or partially replace petroleum-based products and unrenewable resources is expected to become a widespread solution. Based on the analysis of the existing literature, this paper firstly classified biomass materials with potential application prospects in pavement engineering according to their application and summarized their respective preparation methods and characteristics. The pavement performance of asphalt mixtures with biomass materials was analyzed and summarized, and the economic and environmental benefits of bio-asphalt binder were evaluated. The analysis shows that pavement biomass materials with potential for practical application can be divided into three categories: bio-oil, bio-fiber, and bio-filler. Adding bio-oil to modify or extend the virgin asphalt binder can mostly improve the low temperature performance of asphalt binder. Adding styrene-butadienestyrene (SBS) or other preferable bio-components for composite modification will have a further improved effect. Most of the asphalt mixtures prepared by using bio-oil modified asphalt binders have improved the low temperature crack resistance and fatigue resistance of asphalt mixtures, but the high temperature stability and moisture resistance may decrease. As a rejuvenator, most bio-oils can restore the high and low temperature performance of aged asphalt and recycled asphalt mixture, and improve fatigue resistance. Adding bio-fiber could significantly improve the high temperature stability, low temperature crack resistance and moisture resistance of asphalt mixtures. Biochar as a bio-filler can slow down the asphalt aging process and some other bio-fillers can improve the high temperature stability and fatigue resistance of asphalt binders. Through calculation, it is found that the cost performance of bio-asphalt has the ability to surpass conventional asphalt and has economic benefits. The use of biomass materials for pavements not only reduces pollutants, but also reduces the dependence on petroleum-based products. It has significant environmental benefits and development potential.

Evaluating fatigue resistance based on viscoelastic properties of asphalt mixtures

ABSTRACT In this study, the fatigue resistance of different asphalt mixture types subjected to the same aging condition was evaluated using linear viscoelastic properties of asphalt mixtures. The relaxation spectra were determined from the dynamic modulus test based on the linear viscoelastic theory, and the relationship between the parameters of relaxation spectra and the parameters of the storage modulus master-curves were developed. The Texas overlay test was conducted to evaluate the fatigue resistance with the number of load cycle to failure used as the measure of fatigue resistance. From the corresponding results, it is shown that the inflection point frequency of the dynamic modulus master-curves could be used to assess the fatigue resistance compared to other parameters. The Glover-Rowe parameter also exhibited a fair relationship with the fatigue resistance of the asphalt mixtures. The effect of the shape parameter (γ) of the dynamic modulus master-curves was quantified but seemed not very sensitive to fatigue resistance for the asphalt mixtures evaluated. In the study, a new parameter (VECIndex) was developed to evaluate the fatigue resistance, which considered the inflection point frequency and shape of the dynamic modulus master-curves, both of which influence the linear viscoelastic properties and fatigue resistance of asphalt mixtures.

Microwave heating mechanism and self-healing performance of asphalt mixture with basalt and limestone aggregates

Traditional asphalt mixtures can’t absorb microwave energy efficiently, which limits the development of microwave heating technology in the field of road maintenance. Based on the microwave heating characteristics of basalt aggregates, the overall microwave self-healing rate of the asphalt mixture can be enhanced. The basalt was tested by XRF, XPS, XRD and electromagnetic parameters to reveal its microwave heating mechanism. Through the heating rate test, SCB test and fatigue test of asphalt mixture, its heating characteristics, flexural strength, fatigue resistance and self-healing performance were studied. The results showed that the excellent wave-absorbing properties of basalt are highly correlated with the elements of Si, Fe and Al. Its TanδM was slightly larger than TanδE, which indicated that basalt can absorb microwave energy through dielectric loss and magnetic loss. The aggregate type and particle size both affected the microwave heating rate of the aggregates. After microwave heating, the flexural strength and fatigue resistance of asphalt mixture with basalt and limestone aggregates can recover at least 65% and 23% respectively.

Research on Three-Dimensional Morphological Characteristics Evaluation Method and Processing Quality of Coarse Aggregate

The size, shape, gradation and appearance of aggregate have a significant impact on the road performance of asphalt mixtures, which is directly related to the deformation characteristics and fatigue resistance of asphalt mixtures. In order to be able to design a long-life asphalt pavement, the aggregate must have reasonable morphology and morphological characteristics. In order to quantitatively analyze the shape characteristics of the road coarse aggregate, a high-precision three-dimensional scanner is used to obtain the characteristic lattice of the aggregate surface, and the solid model of the coarse aggregate particles is established. The two-dimensional and three-dimensional morphological indicators of the aggregate are analyzed and discussed. Meanwhile, aggregates processed by typical quarries in Guangdong Province are collected, and the influence of different processing techniques on the morphology of aggregates are analyzed. The results show that the difference between the perimeter and projected area of the aggregate contour under different viewing angles is relatively large, which is closely related to the flatness index of the aggregate. It can better characterize the three-dimensional shape of the aggregate. The closer the aggregate is to the cubic state, the greater the sphericity value; the ellipsoid index calculated based on the three-dimensional circumscribed ellipsoid can better characterize the angularity of the aggregate. The worse the angularity of the aggregate, the larger the corresponding ellipsoid value. The sphericity of the aggregate processed by counter-breaking is lower, and the angularity is better. The sphericity of the aggregate processed by the shaping process is the best, but the angularity is lower. According to actual needs, different processing techniques can be combined and blended to obtain aggregate finished products with a more balanced grain shape and angularity. The richer the angularity of the coarse aggregate, the better the high-temperature stability and fatigue resistance of the asphalt mixture. However, the stability of performance indicators will become worse. In practical engineering applications, it is recommended to further combine the screening efficiency of the hot material screen of the mixing plant with the stability of the hot material gradation and the uniformity of construction quality to select a suitable aggregate processing technology.

Investigation on Fatigue Performance of Diatomite/Basalt Fiber Composite Modified Asphalt Mixture.

The fatigue resistance of asphalt mixture is an important indicator to evaluate the durability of asphalt pavement. In order to improve the fatigue properties of asphalt mixture, diatomite and environmental basalt fiber were added. Four types of asphalt mixtures, ordinary asphalt mixture (AM), diatomite modified asphalt mixture (DAM), basalt fiber modified asphalt mixture (BFAM) and diatomite/basalt fiber composite modified asphalt mixture (DBFAM), were chosen, whose optimum asphalt–aggregate ratio, optimum content of diatomite and optimum content of basalt fiber could be determined by Marshall test and response surface methodology (RSM). The multi-functional pneumatic servo Cooper test machine was carried out by a four-point bending fatigue test. Through the comparative analysis of flexural-tensile stiffness modulus (S), initial stiffness modulus(S0), residual stiffness modulus ratio, lag angle (ϕ) and cumulative dissipation energy (ECD), the fatigue resistance of asphalt mixture can be effectively improved by adding diatomite and basalt fiber. Grey correlation analysis was also used to analyze the degree of correlation between the fatigue life and the influencing factors such as VV, VMA, VFA, OAC, S, and ECD. The analysis results indicate that ECD has the greatest impact on the fatigue life of the asphalt mixture.

Effect of Chemical Components of Asphalt Binders on Fatigue Resistance of Binder and Asphalt Mixtures in High Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement Mixtures

Abstract In this paper, correlations between the chemical components and fatigue parameters of the binder blends containing reclaimed asphalt binder (RAB) were evaluated. Fatigue resistance of RAB-containing binder blends were evaluated by dynamic shear rheometer and linear amplitude sweep tests. Chemical components of asphalt binders were determined by saturate, aromatic, resin, and asphaltene fractionation test. Furthermore, four-point beam fatigue test was utilized for evaluating the fatigue resistance of asphalt mixtures containing reclaimed asphalt pavement. Based on the obtained results, strong correlations between chemical parameters of the binder and fatigue life of asphalt binders and mixtures were established.

Fatigue in asphalt mixtures – a summary to understand the complexity of its mathematical modeling

Based on the reviewed literature in relation to the phenomenon of fatigue in asphalt mixtures, the foregoing paper depicts and describes in summary, the main variables that impact in the generation of said phenomenon in asphalt pavements. This has the purpose of showing its complexity to mathematically model it. As a general conclusion obtained in the study, it was found that the calibration difficulty of the models is mainly since the mathematical equations must be in capacity of considering that fatigue resistance of asphalt mixtures depends on load mode (stress-controlled or strain- controlled), the type of load (haversine or sinusoidal) and the rest periods to which laboratory samples are subjected. Additionally, both in situ, as within the laboratory, this varies with stiffness, volumetric composition (type and content of asphalt and aggregate), the geometry of samples, with effects associated to mix durability and environmental conditions, with the type of test, border conditions and support layers (base, subbase, subgrade). If these physical parameters are not considered, the mathematical equations lose reliability.

Laboratory investigation and statistical analysis of the rutting and fatigue resistance of asphalt mixtures containing crumb-rubber and wax-based warm mix asphalt additive

Recent studies show that using crumb rubber modifier (CRM) improves the mechanical and rheological properties of asphalt samples. However, the higher viscosity of rubberized binders increases the production temperatures of resulting mixtures. Using Warm Mix Asphalt (WMA) technology in combination with rubberized binders is a practical solution to alleviate this problem. However, mechanical characteristics of rubberized warm mixtures should be further analyzed to determine the effects of warm additives on the performance of asphalt mixtures. This study was performed to investigate the effects of an organic WMA additive, Slack wax (SW) (2%, 4%, and 6% by weight of binder), upon rutting and fatigue resistance of rubberized asphalt mixtures (15% and 20% CRM by binder weight). Further, a statistical analysis was conducted to define the possible relationships between fatigue life and three mechanical factors: toughness index (TI), resilient modulus, and indirect tensile strength (ITS). The results of the dynamic creep test indicated that both CRM and SW increased the flow number of asphalt samples yielding more resistant mixtures against rutting distress. The wheel tracking test results were consistent with the dynamic creep test. According to the indirect tensile fatigue test, the addition of SW was effective in improving the fatigue life of both control and rubberized asphalt specimens under two studied stress levels. TI values derived from the ITS test showed that rubberized warm mixtures can significantly increase the flexibility and energy absorptivity of asphalt mixtures. The results of bivariate correlation analysis indicated a direct relationship between the fatigue life-Mr and fatigue life-TI parameters. The significant values of correlation demonstrate that TI value derived from a cheap, easy, and fast ITS test is a practical parameter to predict the fatigue life of rubberized warm mixtures.

Mechanical Characteristics of Graphene Nanoplatelets-Modified Asphalt Mixes: A Comparison with Polymer- and Not-Modified Asphalt Mixes.

In recent years, nanotechnology has sparked an interest in nanomodification of bituminous materials to increase the viscosity of asphalt binders and improves the rutting and fatigue resistance of asphalt mixtures. This paper presents the experimental results of laboratory tests on bituminous mixtures laid on a 1052 m-long test section built in Rome, Italy. Four asphalt mixtures for wearing and binder layer were considered: two polymer modified asphalt concretes (the former modified with the additive Superplast and the latter modified with styrene–butadiene–styrene), a “hard” graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) modified asphalt concrete and a not-modified mixture. The indirect tensile strength, water sensitivity, stiffness modulus, and fatigue resistance of the mixtures were tested and compared. A statistical analysis based on the results has shown that the mixtures with GNPs have higher mechanical performances than the others: GNP could significantly improve the tested mechanical performances; further studies will be carried out to investigate its effect on rutting and skid resistance.

Comparative Study on Asphalt Mixture with Nano Materials and Polymer

Pavement materials are crucial factors affecting pavement durability. Now-a-days, there is dire necessity for roads which are more stable and stronger. Due to weathering conditions and heavy traffic, the pavement surfaces are getting deteriorated by rutting, pot holes etc. Among them asphalt is the most sustainable pavement material for construction pavements and can be used for many applications including highways, airport runways, parking lots and drive ways. In order to provide effective durability than that of asphalt, in its original form it has been modified using Nano-materials known as modified asphalt. In this paper we are gone deal with the advances in Nano-materials in hot mix asphalt and also addition of recronfibre and the comparison was made. With the addition of this Recronfibre, there is an improvement in the properties of bitumen like increase in stability value and decrease in the flow value, % of air voids etc. Recronfibre is an artificial material obtained from the polyester and which is also used as a secondary reinforcement for attaining tensile strength. It helps to resist the cracks obtained by the improper laying of pavement surface and heavy loaded vehicles. But whereas, the clay Nano-particles are the primary materials applying in asphalt construction adding Nano-particles like Nano clay, Nano silica and nanotubes in asphalts normally increase the viscosity of asphalt binders and improves the rutting and fatigue resistance of asphalt mixtures. From this the performance of asphalt when treated with Nano-particles and its sustainability compared to that of other pavement materials is examined and studied.

Design Mixture of RAP-HMA Pavements: A Review

Roads are the national assets of a country. Once they are non-functional, they can be recycled to serve the next design life. Flexible pavements are the predominant type of pavement all over the world. The distressed flexible pavement material can be termed as Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP) material. The most common percent of RAP in the recycling process is 20% only. For higher incorporation of RAP material, there is uncertainty in the performance of RAP-HMA mixture. Design Mixture of RAP incorporated HMA technology depends on criteria’s like the viscosity of aged RAP extracted binder, dosages of recycling agents, overheating of RAP material and method of intrusion of RAP material in plant production units etc. The fields cum laboratory studies have found rutting, fatigue and moisture susceptibility as major concerns in this technology. The uses of rejuvenators have been found to improve the fatigue resistance of asphalt mixture but its over-dosages may impact rutting resistance. Hence, a balanced mixture design method which involves performance evaluation of recycled mixture is required. This paper discusses the mixture design of RAP-HMA pavement.

Mechanical evaluation and mechanism analysis of the stripping resistance and healing performance of modified asphalt-basalt aggregate combinations

Asphalt modifications can contribute to the moisture susceptibility and fatigue resistance of asphalt mixtures. This study investigated the effects of various asphalt modifications on the bond and healing properties of modified asphalt binders and the mechanism of changes caused by the modification. Five modified asphalt binders were prepared in the laboratory for this study, including SBS-modified asphalt, crumb rubber-modified asphalt, terminal blend (TB) rubberized asphalt, high-density polyethylene (HDPE)-modified asphalt, and gilsonite-modified asphalt. A modified binder bond strength (BBS) test was applied to evaluate the bond and healing performance of five modified binders at both dry and wet conditions. The surface free energy (SFE) test was conducted on the modified binders to investigate the cohesion/adhesion energy variation due to the binder modification. In addition, the ravelling resistance, moisture susceptibility, and fatigue life of the asphalt mixtures prepared using the modified binders and basalt (which is widely used in China) were measured using the Cantabro test, Hamburg wheel-tracking test, and four-point beam fatigue test, respectively. The performance results of the asphalt mixtures are employed to verify the findings of BBS and SFE tests for the modified binders. It is found that the modified BBS test provides a promising tool for evaluating the bond and healing properties of modified asphalt binders, and the SFE could help to explain the mechanism of binder modification. The testing results indicate that gilsonite enhanced the bond strength and surface energy of asphalt, and high-density polyethylene significantly improve the healing performance.

Simple Indexes to Identify Fatigue Performance of Asphalt Concrete

Abstract Using indexes based on engineering properties is among the ways to evaluate the quality of an asphalt concrete mix in terms of its resistance to fatigue cracking. These indexes typically are developed based on measuring asphalt concrete or asphalt binder properties in a laboratory test. Among such tests, the semicircular bend (SCB) test has shown potential as a promising test to determine fatigue resistance of asphalt mixtures. In the work presented, this test was explored extensively to determine proper fatigue performance identifiers from the test. Numerous tests were conducted to determine the effect of asphalt mix composition on the SCB fatigue test results. A major index considered from this test for evaluation is the flexibility index (FI), which is defined as the ratio of fracture energy and the post peak slope at inflection point derived from a typical load-deformation or stress–strain monotonic test. This index has been proposed based on extensive research at the University of Illinois. In the work presented in this study, tests were conducted on both short- and long-term aged asphalt mixes to evaluate FI and its reliability as a fatigue resistance indicator. The mix components considered as test variables included binder content, air void, and binder stiffness. The results showed a significant reduction in FI fatigue resistance after long term aging. Reduced FI is believed to associate with reduced fatigue life. The sensitivity of FI and other engineering properties to mix parameters were investigated in this research. It was found that FI could not be used alone and as a sole indicator of fatigue performance. It was determined that two indexes are needed for this purpose—the first presents the mix toughness and ductility, and the second is a strength- or stiffness-based index.

Effect of binder film distribution on the fatigue characteristics of asphalt Binder/Filler composite based on image analysis method

As a composition of asphalt binder and mineral fillers, asphalt mastic plays a significant role in the fatigue resistance of asphalt mixtures. At the mastic scale, the existence of fillers may rearrange the distribution of asphalt binder and then influence the fatigue characteristics of the binder/filler composite. The effect of content and size distribution of fillers on the binder film distribution in the asphalt mastic were evaluated by a series of image acquisition and processing methods, including scan electronic microscope (SEM), laser diffusion analyzer (LDA), randomly generation algorithm and morphology analysis. A normal distribution model could be used to fit the thickness distribution curve of the binder film within the asphalt mastic perfectly. The expected value (Ebinder) and peak value (Pbinder) were proposed to quantify the average level and uniformity of the binder film thickness, respectively. The rheological and fatigue properties of the asphalt mastic were evaluated by the time–temperature sweep (TTS) test and a modified linear amplitude sweep (LAS) test. Based on the correlation results, it could be found that asphalt mastic with higher filler contents and finer filler size distribution present a thinner and more uniform binder film distribution, which may increase the fatigue life at small strain level of 0.1% and the strain sensitivity under cyclic loading. The morphology analysis provides new insight to quantify the relationship between the microstructure characteristics and fatigue performance of asphalt mastic.

Investigation on Indirect Tensile Test of Asphalt Mixture Based on the Discrete Element Method

Abstract The indirect tensile test is commonly used to evaluate crack and fatigue resistance of asphalt mixtures. However, laboratory tests are time-consuming and laborious in general. Numerical simulation provides a technical way for studying the mechanical behavior of asphalt mixtures. In this research, a laboratory test and discrete element method were used to explore the effects of temperature, air void content, loading rate, and the homogeneity of a mixture on the splitting strength of asphalt mixtures. For asphalt mixtures, a three-dimensional random modeling method and two-dimensional modeling method based on X-ray computed tomography and digital image processing were developed. Also, a homogeneity evaluation index based on ring segmentation was proposed. The results show that an increase in loading rate and decrease in temperature resulted in a significant increase in splitting strength. With an increase in voids, the splitting strength of an asphalt mixture decreased. The Pearson correlation coefficient indicates that there seems to be no clear connection between splitting strength and homogeneity, but there is a significant correlation between the homogeneity and differences in the splitting strength.

Development of a fatigue index parameter, Sapp , for asphalt mixes using viscoelastic continuum damage theory

ABSTRACT Fatigue cracking is one of the major distresses in asphalt pavements. Engineers have used many methods, from sophisticated numerical simulations to experience-based knowledge, to address fatigue cracking and deliver pavements that perform well. One strategy that has become increasingly widespread is the use of a fatigue index parameter that identifies the cracking potential of asphalt mixtures independent of the pavement structure. The use of such indices allows pavement engineers to make quick and targeted decisions with regard to mix design, mix acceptance, and mix quality assurance. This paper proposes a new fatigue index parameter, Sapp , which represents the damage capacity of a mixture and is based on the viscoelastic continuum damage theory. Unlike other indices, this new index considers the effects of both material toughness and stiffness. Sapp was employed in this study to evaluate 105 different asphalt mixtures with varied design factors. The results indicate that Sapp is able to distinguish the fatigue resistance of asphalt mixtures with varied properties, including different binder contents, binder performance grades, reclaimed asphalt pavement contents, types of binder modifier, air void contents, aggregate gradations, and aging levels. This paper also presents a set of recommended Sapp threshold values for different expected traffic volumes.

Los efectos de la forma de la onda de carga en la estimación de la vida a la fatiga de la capa asfáltica en la estructura del pavimento

The phenomenon of fatigue can be considered as one of the main causes of the asphalt surface course failure. The Four Point Bending Apparatus is the widespread equipment used to determine the fatigue resistance of asphalt mixtures. Worldwide there are several standard procedures that rule this test. The main difference between them remains in the waveform, in which the load is applied, and in the failure criteria. This paper reports the influence from the waveform, haversine or sinusoidal, on the fatigue resistance of an asphalt mixture. In addition, through numerical simulation, it was evaluated the influence of the models obtained in the design of the thickness of the asphalt layer required for the structure of a pavement. The conclusion is that the use of haversine waves in fatigue tests results in a fatigue life of the asphalt surface layer almost 67 times bigger than the ones found on sinusoidal tests

Investigating the effect of amorphous carbon powder on the moisture sensitivity, fatigue performance and rutting resistance of rubberized asphalt concrete mixtures

In recent years, the significant importance of solid waste management, increase in the cost of bitumen and polymer modifiers have encouraged the pavement engineers to use reusable alternative sources. Ground tire rubber (GTR) and amorphous carbon powder (ACP) are considered as two industrial waste which their using in asphalt mixture prevents their releasing in the environment. This study aims to analyze moisture sensitivity, fatigue performance, and rutting resistance of asphalt mixture influenced by using GTR (8, 12, and 16% of bitumen weight) as the modifier of bitumen properties, and ACP (25, 50, and 75% of filler weight) as filler. The results of this study shows that the ACP increases the resilient modulus and indirect tensile strength of rubberized asphalt concrete (RAC) mixtures. The results revealed that despite the negative effect of GTR on the moisture resistance of asphalt mixture, ACP improves the moisture performance. The results of fracture energy also implies that using ACP decreases the fracture energy, but using the GTR improves the fatigue resistance of asphalt mixture. Furthermore, the results of dynamic creep and wheel track tests indicates that 16GTR + 50ACP has the lowest permanent deformation and highest rutting resistance. The results of ANOVA analysis demonstrates that using GTR and ACP has a considerable effect on the performance properties of asphalt mixture. Finally, the results of this study illustrate the simultaneous use cleaner production and wasted materials decreases the environmental damages in addition to improvement of physical properties of the asphalt mixture.
