Three-dimensional meso-scale modeling of asphalt concrete
An efficient method to address the three-dimensional modeling of the visco-elasto-plastic material behavior, specifically of bituminous conglomerates used in asphalt concrete production, is proposed. The method resorts to one of the most recent formulations for asphalt creep modeling, represented by the modified Huet-Sayegh fractional rheological model. The Gr & uuml;nwald-Letnikov representation of the fractional operator is adopted to treat the operator numerically in an efficient manner. Further, a coupling scheme between the creep model and elastoplasticity is proposed by adopting the additive decomposition of the total strain tensor. This enables the numerical assessment of the mechanical behavior for bituminous materials under short- to long-term loading. In this context, both constant strain rate tests, and creep recovery tests are numerically simulated. Numerical analyses are conducted at the meso-scale with the aim to evaluate the development of inelastic strains in the binder during creep, due to the local interaction between the different material components.
