Description

TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Report 646: Validating the Fatigue Endurance Limit for Hot Mix Asphalt explores the existence of a fatigue endurance limit for hot mix asphalt (HMA) mixtures, the effect of HMA mixture characteristics on the endurance limit, and the potential for the limit's incorporation in structural design methods for flexible pavements.
