Study on Dynamic Modulus Dependence Model for Asphalt Mixture Based on Temperature and Strain Parameters

In order to objectively characterize the nonlinear viscoelastic behavior of asphalt mixture and its dependence on temperature and load, the two-point dynamic flexural tensile modulus test of asphalt mixture at different strain levels, temperatures and loading frequencies is carried out by using French trapezoidal beam tester. By introducing the method of nonlinear operator, the dynamic modulus dependency modeling method for asphalt mixture based on temperature and strain parameters is put forward, the expression of dynamic modulus principal surface of asphalt mixture is established, and the reliability of the dynamic modulus dependent model is evaluated by correlation coefficient test and variance analysis method. The result shows that (1) for the two-point flexural tensile test of trapezoidal beam based on asphalt mixture of full-scale test track, the mean values of dynamic modulus variation coefficient at 0℃ and 45℃ are about 2.5% and 6.2% respectively, the mean values of dynamic modulus variation coefficient at 10 test temperatures is about 4%, the variation level of the test method is low, the error is small, which has a very good parallelism and reliability; (2) for the established dynamic modulus dependent model expression based on temperature and strain parameters, the decision coefficient R² can reach more than 0.99, the P value of F test is 0, the fitting effect of the model on the test result is good, and there is a significant correlation of dynamic modulus with temperature and strain level; (3) the model can be used to describe the dynamic flexural tensile modulus of asphalt mixture, and the description model of the dynamic modulus can be transformed from principal curve to principal surface. In pavement structure analysis, this model can reflect the nonlinear response phenomenon in actual pavement more objectively, and can avoid the problems such as distortion of the calculation result caused by unreasonable modulus value in structural analysis effectively.
