From page 1...
... 1 Bottom-up fatigue cracking is one of the main distress types in flexible pavement. Current design methods of flexible pavement assume that cumulative damage occurs where each load cycle uses up a portion of the finite fatigue life of the asphalt layer regardless of load magnitude or traffic volume.
From page 2...
... 2different conditions and accounting for healing. Also, the literature does not provide a clear relationship between endurance limit and healing, which is one of the main contributions of this research.
From page 3...
... 3 occurs during the rest period after each load application. A larger separation between the two curves indicates more healing, and vice versa.
