Abstract

In the northern U.S. and Canada, low temperature cracking represents one of crucial distresses on asphalt pavements. As temperature drops thermal stress develops in asphalt layer then cracking occurs when it reaches at crucial level. Because of that reason, thermal stress is recognized as an important parameter for evaluating the low temperature performance of asphalt pavement. Conventionally, thermal stress is computed by converting creep compliance into its corresponding relaxation modulus based on different techniques. In this paper, analytical and approximate inter-conversion methods are applied to compute the asphalt binder thermal stress and then the results are compared. Clear differences in thermal stress are found when using power-law based approach compared to the numerical solution of the convolution integral according to Hopkins and Hamming’s algorithm. Based on the findings it can be said that both two different method can successfully be applied for providing lower and upper boundaries on estimating thermal stress of given asphalt binders.
