Abstract:

This paper aims to investigate the effect of void characteristics on the virtual shear fatigue life of asphalt mixtures. Using image techniques and three-dimensional （3D） Discrete Element Method （DEM）， the micromechanical models for the shear fatigue life of asphalt mixtures were established considering the real void size and distribution and random void size and distribution. The shear fatigue lives of asphalt mixtures with different aggregate sizes， binder contents， and temperatures were simulated based on these models. Some simulation results were compared with the experimental results. Research results show that the shear fatigue life of asphalt mixtures can be simulated using 3D DEM， and void characteristics significantly affect the virtual shear fatigue life. With the same model parameters， the shear fatigue life considering the real void size and distribution is less than that considering the random void size and distribution， but is closer to the experimental results. Furthermore， aggregate size and binder content also remarkably affect the shear fatigue life of asphalt mixtures. The shear fatigue life increases with the nominal maximum aggregate size （NMAS）. Under the same conditions of NMAS and temperature， the shear fatigue life is the lonest with the optimal binder content. Under the same conditions of NMAS and binder content， the shear fatigue life decreases as the temperature increases.
