Validation of the time-temperature superposition principle for crack propagation in bituminous mixtures

Résumé

The time-temperature superposition principle (TTSP) is known to be valid in the small strain domain where the behaviour of bituminous mixtures is linear viscoelastic (LVE). The behaviour is then called thermorheologically simple. In this work, an experimental campaign was performed at University of Lyon/ENTPE (France) to check the validity of the TTSP in the linear domain in the tridimensional case and also when cracks occur and propagate in bituminous mixture. A four-point bending test, which has been designed at University of Lyon/ENTPE, was used as crack propagation test. First, a complex modulus test is performed on cylindrical specimen in the LVE domain. Then, a series of crack propagation tests are carried out at different temperatures and different imposed displacement rates. The same shift factors obtained for master curve of complex modulus is also applied for the crack propagation tests analysis. The results allow obtaining a unique curve, for identical loadings when plotting as a function of reduced time. This result confirms that the TTSP is also valid for crack propagation in bituminous mixtures.
