Problem ContextProblem Context
• Comprehensive material model for AC must span allbehavior phenomena:
ViscoelasticityMicrostructural damage (and damage localization)Viscoplasticity
• Major variables:TemperatureRate of loadingStress state
Theoretical BackgroundTheoretical Backgroundεt = (εve + εd) + εvpεt = (εve + εd) + εvp
Strain Decomposition
Schapery Schapery Continuum Damage ModelContinuum Damage Model
• εt = total strain• εve = viscoelasticity (linear recoverable)• εd = microstructural damage (nonrecoverable rate-
independent)• εvp = viscoplasticity (nonrecoverable rate-dependent)
Additional consideration: Post-peak localization (macrofracture)

Key QuestionsKey Questions
• Do time-temperature superposition concepts continue toapply to AC under non-small strain conditions?
• Do similar rate processes apply to different components ofthe material response?

Verification: Constant Strain Rate (25oC)ConclusionsConclusions
• Time-temperature superposition appears to remain valid atvery large strains
Confirming data from tension CSR, creep-and-recovery tests(Kim/NCSU)Confirming trends from repeated load permanent deformation,static creep tests (Witczak/ASU)
• Enhanced Schapery continuum damage model captures thekey aspects of asphalt concrete behavior (pre-localization)
ViscoelasticityMicrostructural damageViscoplasticity
• Validation against independent laboratory tests isunderway
