Abstract:
To investigate the temperature dependence of the modulus of LSAM-50 flexible base asphalt pavement (LSAM-50 pavement) materials, specifically SMA-13, AC-20, and LSAM-50. The effects of temperature on the modulus of LSAM-50 pavement materials were investigated, and a temperature-dependent model of resilient modulus was established. A dynamic modulus master curve was constructed based on a generalized logarithmic Sigmoidal model. The correlation between the resilient modulus and dynamic modulus was studied, and a multiple linear regression model was developed to describe the relationship between the dynamic modulus and resilient modulus, temperature, and loading frequency. The results show that the resilient modulus and dynamic modulus gradually decrease with the increase in temperature and then tend to stabilize. The resilient modulus of LSAM-50 is higher than that of SMA-13 and AC-20 in the entire temperature range, and the dynamic modulus of LSAM-50 is higher than that of SMA-13 and AC-20 in the high-temperature range. The correlation coefficients (R2) of the established resilient modulus and dynamic modulus estimation models are greater than 0.97 and 0.94, respectively.

Dynamic Modulus of Elasticity of Concrete
The sonic test is a common method to determine the dynamic modulus. In this test, a concrete beam, sized either 6 x 6 x 30 inches or 4 x 4 x 20 inches, is clamped at its center. Vibrations are initiated at one end of the beam by an electromagnetic exciter unit powered by...
