Abstract

Abstract
Fatigue resistance is one of the key specifications of asphalt materials that is of paramount importance in pavement design. Over time, because of the passage of traffic loads as well as exposure to different environmental conditions, pavement is damaged. Fatigue cracks in asphalt layers are accepted as a criterion in design methods. A variety of tests is employed in laboratory modeling, among which the four-point fatigue test is the best-adapted one to field conditions. In the present study, the effect of zycotherm additive on fatigue function of half-warm mix asphalt was tested. Other objectives of this study include assessment of fatigue life by wasted energy method and the association between energy parameters and traditional method (50% decline in stiffness modulus). In the current study, two types of calcareous and silica stone materials and 60-70 pure bitumen besides zycotherm additive of 0.1% of the bitumen weight have been utilized. The results revealed the improved fatigue life of half-warm mix asphalt due to the addition of 0.1% zycotherm. Mixtures containing calcareous aggregates performed better against fatigue compared to silica aggregates. Moreover, there was a very good relation between energy parameters and fatigue life. The ANOVA test result show that there was significant difference between fatigue life (Nf50، NS*N، NER) and PV parameters.
