Abstract
The effect of the structure below the base course of the asphalt pavement on the behavior of the asphalt mixture has been investigated by the authors. In those studies the asphalt mixture is modeled using the Burger's model and linear viscoelastic analyses are carried out using the Laplace transformation based on the Elastic-Viscoelastic Analogy. It is feared that dynamic effect is neglected in the method using the Laplace transformation where the equations of motion are not solved. In this paper, dynamic effect on linear viscoelastic analyses for asphalt mixture of pavement was investigated through the comparison between the semi-static analyses using Laplace transformation and the time history response analyses using Newmark-beta method. As a result no dynamic effect on linear viscoelastic analyses could be seen under the condition of the base structure of asphalt pavement with ordinary mass and stiffness.
