Cyclic Behavior of Asphalt Concrete Used as Impervious Core in Embankment Dams
Asphalt concrete is used as a water barrier (interior core or upstream facing) in embankment dams. This paper investigates the behavior of hydraulic asphalt specimens subjected to cyclic loading in a triaxial cell. The specimens were tested at various sustained static stress states and temperatures and at maximum cyclic shear stress levels corresponding to severe earthquake shaking of the dam. The cyclic modulus versus mean sustained static stress showed an approximately linear relationship in a logarithmic diagram, and an empirical expression was developed to determine the cyclic modulus. At a mean sustained stress of 1.0 MPa, the cyclic modulus at 20°C was about 900 MPa; at 9°C, it was 1900 MPa and at 3.5°C, about 2500 MPa. The damping ratio was found to be between 0.07–0.30, depending on stress state and temperature level. The number of load cycles (up to 6000) had no significant effect on the magnitude of cyclic strain, and the cyclic loading was documented to have little effect on the postcyclic monotonic stress-strain-strength behavior and permeability (watertightness) of the asphalt concrete.
