Abstract
Fatigue characteristics of hot mix asphalt (HMA) mixtures are influenced from the kind of asphalt binder and aging effects on the fields. It is understandable that the fatigue characteristics of HMA mixtures can be evaluated from physical properties of the asphalt binders. The study investigates a correlation between viscoelastic property of asphalt binders and the fatigue life of the HMA mixtures. Based on the results, this study finds the appropriate viscoelastic parameter and testing conditions, and confirms that the parameter has a high correlation with the fatigue life.
