Characterization of Permanent deformation Mondher Neifar, Hervé Di Benedetto, Berthe Dongmo NABin Conferense - 26. october 2004 . Berthe-Julienne DONGMO-ENGELAND
… 1980 1960 1950 1990 1970 The problem is solved Apparition of rutting Rutting reappears Rutting in France: milestones • Evolution in the production of bitumen • Evolution of axle loads configuration
15 to 50 cm Arase de terrassement Couches de surface Plate –forme support de chaussée Accotement Roulement Liaison Base Couches d’assise Fondation Couche de forme 1m Partie supérieure des terrassements Sol support Origins of rutting in bituminous roads Bituminous layers Unbound layers
Aim • Homogeneous test • rheological model • Measure both “large” (10-2) permanent deformation and “small” (10-6) cyclic deformation • complex modulus
Test developed Triaxial test on bituminous mixes h=12cm d=8cm
Test developed Triaxial test on bituminous mixes • High resolution • A mechanical system to move axial targets • Temperature regulation

s s max t Cyclic loading periods Rest periods Experimental Stress Time (s) Compression and tension type tests T = 25°C; smax = 0,4 Mpa; f = 1Hz
Strain-number of cycles 0.3% Cumulated number of cycles Experimental T = 25°C; smax = 0,4 Mpa; f = 1Hz T = 25°C - f = 1 Hz smax = 0,4 MPa
