“A LINEAR VISCOELASTIC ANALYSIS AND FATIGUE DAMAGE CHRACTERIZATION OF ASPHALTIC MATERIALS IN TWO LENGTH SCALES”

Fatigue Damage in asphalt pavement is one the most serious form distress that can reduce the pavement life and its expected performance. Current specifications used to mitigate this problem are on binder and it may not truly represent the scenario witnessed.in the pavements. Hence the present study attempts to characterize damage at a length scale that can reflect the influence of a thin film of binder on the fatigue resistance of the composite
