Fatigue cracking is one of the primary modes of failure in asphalt pavements. Cracking typically occurs within the asphalt binder phase of asphalt mixtures. Thus, asphalt binder fatigue resistance is critical in determining overall pavement fatigue performance. One procedure commonly used to characterize asphalt binder fatigue resistance is the time sweep test, which consists of repeated torsional loading of a cylindrical specimen in the Dynamic Shear Rheometer (DSR). Generally, apparent changes in material properties with respect to number of cycles of loading are used to define fatigue failure of the asphalt binder. Results of this test have been shown to correlate well with asphalt mixture fatigue performance. However, the mechanisms responsible for changes in material properties during fatigue testing in the DSR were previously not well understood. Results in this study demonstrate that fracture can account for changes in loading resistance of asphalt binders during time sweep testing. Under cyclic torsional loading of cylindrical specimens, macro fracture is shown to manifest in the form of edge fracture. Edge fracture is a circumferential crack starting at the periphery of a cylindrical sample that propagates inward as loading is applied, reducing the effective sample size. Digital visualization of the fractured specimens allowed for determination of the fractured and intact sample area. Predictions of fracture propagation based on measurements of loading resistance and fracture mechanics concepts agreed favorably with actual measurements based on visualization. Furthermore, the fracture morphology and progression of crack growth of asphalt binders matched those observed for other materials under similar loading conditions. Based on these results, fatigue damage characterization of asphalt binders can be improved by incorporating fracture mechanics into an analysis framework for DSR fatigue test results. An analysis framework based on fracture principles is presented. The proposed model allows predicting fatigue life at any loading amplitude using the results of a single fatigue test. Additionally, it is demonstrated that time-temperature superposition is applicable to fatigue crack propagation of asphalt binders, allowing for efficient prediction of fatigue performance at multiple temperatures. The model is validated using a comparison between asphalt mixture and binder fatigue test results.

Several different types of modifiers are increasingly being used to improve the performance of asphalt binders or to achieve desired mixture production characteristics (e.g., Warm Mix Asphalt). However, current Superpave performance specifications do not accurately reflect the performance characteristics of these modified binders. The main objective of this study was to evaluate the inherent fatigue cracking resistance of asphalt binders in the form of a matrix with rigid particle inclusions. The underlying rationale for this approach was to subject the binders to a state of stress that is similar to the one in a full asphalt mixture. This was achieved by fabricating and testing composite specimens of the asphalt binders and glass beads with a specified gradation. Four asphalt binders with similar true temperature grades but different modifiers were used in this study. The viscoelastic and fatigue cracking characteristics of the binders were measured using the glass bead-binder composite specimens in a dynamic shear rheometer at an intermediate temperature. The results demonstrate that the four asphalt binders modified using different methods had different damage characteristics despite the fact that these four binders were rated to have a similar performance grade based on the Superpave specifications. Fatigue cracking characteristics of the glass bead-binder test specimens used in this study were qualitatively very similar to the fatigue cracking characteristics of full asphalt mixtures using the same binders. The rank order of fatigue cracking resistance for the four glass bead-binder mixtures compared reasonably well to the rank order of fatigue cracking resistance for the full asphalt mixtures that incorporated these asphalt binders.

The dynamic shear rheometer (DSR) is being used currently by the asphalt pavement community for determination of the viscoelastic properties of asphalts following the recommendations of the Strategic Highway Research Program. The Superpave specification parameter |G*| sin? was identified as the term to be used in rating the asphalt binders for their fatigue resistance. However, in subsequent research work, it was found that this parameter did not relate well with the accumulation of fatigue damage of mixtures measured through a beam fatigue test under strain-controlled conditions. This led researchers to seek other methods of characterizing fatigue resistance behavior of asphalt binders. The suggested new test was a binder fatigue test using the time sweep on the DSR. The number of cycles to fatigue failure Nf was chosen as the criterion for rating the fatigue resistance of the binder.

Asphalt binder is a self-healing material and it has a potential to heal faster with increased temperatures. This paper investigates the thermally activated healing of fatigue damage in three asphalt binders, trying to answer the question: At what temperatures do asphalt binders heal? After fatiguing the sample, a heating treatment was applied and the sample was fatigued for the second time. The recovered fatigue life and the recovered accumulated dissipated energy are used to quantify the thermally activated healing rates of asphalt binders. It is found that these two healing indexes coincide well with each other in different healing conditions. Base asphalt binders can heal the fatigue damage completely after heating for 20 min at the softening-point temperatures. Styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS)-modified asphalt binder can achieve full healing at a temperature 20°C below its softening point, where the elastic recovery of the SBS chain segment may play an important role in healing. It is also found that healing of fatigue damage in asphalt binder is highly strain dependent: the healing ratio is higher at high strain amplitude. It proved that thermally activated healing can be repeated when damage returns in asphalt binder. It is concluded that thermally activated healing of fatigue damage is definitely useful to increase the fatigue life of asphalt binders and different asphalt binders should be heated to certain temperatures related to their specific softening points.

Fatigue cracking is one of three major distresses for asphalt pavement. Asphalt binder is a very important component of asphaltic mixture. The fatigue performance of asphalt binder also greatly affects that of asphaltic mixture. Asphalt binder's fatigue characteristics are affected by external conditions, such as temperature and loading rate. It is warranted to study the effects of these external conditions on fatigue of asphalt binder and take them into account. New fatigue tests and properties have been proposed to characterize the fatigue behavior of asphalt binders, such as monotonic constant shear-rate tests. This study investigated the effects of temperature and shear rate on fatigue properties of asphalt binder. Two asphalt binders were tested with a range of temperature and shear rates. It was found that time-temperature superposition principle also applies to critical strain energy density and shear strength of asphalt binders. The values of shift factors for building the master curves of critical strain energy and shear strength are comparable.

Viscoelastic asphalt binder plays an important role in bonding individual aggregate particles and contributes to the durability and stability of asphalt pavement. When asphalt binder is subjected to cyclic loading, deformation and fracture may develop simultaneously within it, leading to the deterioration of material properties and eventually fatigue failure. Research has found that some degree of recovery may develop if rest periods are applied after fatigue deterioration. However, it is not clear whether such recovery is caused by fracture healing, viscoelastic recovery, or both. This paper presents an analysis to differentiate the contributions of fracture healing and viscoelastic recovery to the asphalt binder during rest periods. It also evaluates the damage caused by deformation and fracture during a fatigue process. It is found that viscoelastic recovery plays an important role in the instant increase in the dynamic shear modulus at the beginning of the rest period. The effect of fracture healing on dynamic shear modulus recovery is more dominant in the long term. A healing index is developed based only on the fracture healing of asphalt binder, excluding the effect of viscoelastic recovery. It can be used to evaluate the true healing properties of different asphalt binders.

Traffic-associated fatigue damage is one of the major distresses in which flexible pavements fail. This type of distress is the result of many thousands--or even millions of wheel loads passing over a pavement. The TRB National Cooperative Highway Research Program's pre-publication draft of NCHRP Research Report 982: Relationships Between the Fatigue Properties of Asphalt Binders and the Fatigue Performance of Asphalt Mixtures details these relationships and makes several conclusions and recommendations.

The linear amplitude sweep (LAS) test is considered a useful tool for evaluating fatigue of asphalt binders. The effects of oxidative aging, temperature, and loading frequency remain difficult to measure or model in a simple format. In this study, the combined effects of strain, aging and temperature are investigated using the LAS procedure, and a method for estimating binder fatigue behavior at different combinations of these effects from limited measurements is introduced. Recently, the Glover-Rowe (G-R) parameter has also been introduced as a measure of binder cracking resistance and its change with oxidative aging. This approach differs than the LAS in the time required for testing, the range in strain used, and temperature of the tests required to derive the binder fatigue parameters. In addition, there is confusion about what could be the specification acceptance limits to be used and how to consider the temperature of pavement, and traffic volume and speed in the specification criteria for the G-R. In this study, the effect of strain using in testing on the G-R parameter are investigated and a modified criterion for using it in specifications with accounting for traffic conditions and temperature, are introduced. The results of this study show that LAS parameters, A and B, after different aging durations or at different temperatures, have a good relationship with the binder complex modulus (G*) measured at the corresponding conditions. Therefore, a new fatigue life (Nf) model accounting for strain level, temperature and aging is proposed using a power function of the binder G*. The model offers a simple reliable method to predicted values of fatigue life at a wider range of aging, temperature and strain level conditions. Following the concept of Jnr limits for different traffic grades used for the Multiple Stress Creep and Recovery (MSCR) test, the threshold values of the allowable strain in LAS results, and maximum allowable G-R limits, under different traffic volume and speed conditions are defined. Similar to the MSCR approach, four fatigue traffic grades including S, H, V, and E are used in the proposed criteria. To verify that the LAS and G-R parameters are related to asphalt mixtures cracking resistance, and that the binder specification limits are logical, the results of binder testing are compared with mixture testing results and the comparison show clear evidence of the role of binders in mixture behavior in the IDEAL-CT mixture tests.
