CVL745 : Modeling of pavement Materials
[edit]Role of constitutive modeling; Laboratory testing in relation to constitutive modeling: elastic modulus, resilient modulus, complex modulus, creep, rheological tests; Introduction to continuum mechanics: strain tensor, stress tensor, isotropy, anisotropy, constitutive relationships; Factors affecting material behavior: temperature, rate, time, confining pressure; Unbound materials: soil, aggregate; Bound materials: binding using asphalt, water, lime, polymer, fly ash, cement; Constitutive models: unbound materials, bound materials; Field performance of pavement materials: fatigue, rutting, temperature issues, moisture damage, permeability; Transfer functions to relate laboratory performance with field performance.
