Cyclic triaxial tests on bituminous mixtures

Résumé

In the framework of a study on rutting of bituminous layers, thermo-controlled triaxial tests under constant confining pressure on homogeneous asphalt concrete specimen have been performed. These tests are cyclic sinusoidal tests, with the aim to reproduce in some way the loading and unloading phases due to traffic on roads. The influences of confinement and load frequency have been studied. Tests have highlighted that confinement notably decreases the strain rate as well as the level of strain reached at the end of the test. The tests did not allow to clearly observe the influence of frequency on the response of the material, due to problems of repeatability. In order to avoid such problems, another test procedure was adopted. It consisted in changing either confinement or frequency during the test, with the purpose to see an evolution of strain rate, and to establish correlations. These tests have clearly shown the influence of cyclic loading and the relative influence of loading frequency on the response of asphalt concrete. The main objective of this triaxial programme is to develop a numerical model, based on rheological laws, able to predict the behaviour of bituminous layers.
