Abstract
Employing a constitutive equation developed by Farris and Fitzgerald which accounts for the maximum strain ever imposed upon a material as well as a weighted average of the strain history, the family of Pth order Lebesgue norms, the applicability to a sand-asphalt concrete is demonstrated. The inadequacy of linear viscoelasticity theory under repeated or decreasing loadings for these materials is also demonstrated. Practical laboratory determination of the material parameters is described.
