ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT: Behaviour of bituminous mixtures is very complex. Their rheological properties depend on strain amplitude level and temperature. We can observe linear viscoelasticity properties for very small strain amplitudes and non-linearities for larger strain levels. Fatigue and rutting (permanent deformation) can appear for a great number of cycles. Moreover brittle or ductile failure can occur. All of these properties strongly temperature and time dependant.
