Abstract

Rutting is a key distress taking place in the lifecycle of the asphalt pavement, in particular at high-temperature zone. The dynamic modulus |E*| of an asphalt mixture is extensively utilized as an important index in mechanistic–empirical pavement design and analysis. The objective of this study is to find the correlation with the rutting by Hamburg wheel-tracking test and dynamic modulus test in laboratory. Four types of asphalt mixtures were employed, including (i) SMA mixture produced in Warm Mix Asphalt technology; (ii) Dense-graded HMA mixture produced in Warm Mix Asphalt technology; (iii) SMA mixture produced in Hot Mix Asphalt technology; (iv) Dense-graded HMA mixture produced in Hot Mix Asphalt technology. The results showed that the high correlation coefficient was obtained between the rutting depth (40,000 passes, at 50 °C) and dynamic modulus |E*| at 45 °C, 10 Hz; Thus dynamic modulus test might be a more reliable test in evaluating the rut resistance of asphalt concrete mixture.
