ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT: The dynamic modulus Ed is the main input material property of asphalt mixtures for the modern mechanistic-empirical flexible pavements design methods. The dynamic modulus is determined in laboratory by different procedures but in all cases, they require sophisticated equipment and well-trained personnel. This study experimentally analyzes the estimation of the dynamic modulus of asphalt mixtures from creep test results using much simpler testing equipment and by an interconversion procedure in order to validate it. The obtained results show that the procedure is very promising to estimate the dynamic modulus of bituminous mixes for practical applications.
