Viscoelastic mechanical models analysis in asphalt concrete with sintered aggregate of calcined clay
摘要
This study evaluates the viscoelastic behavior of asphalt concrete incorporating Sintered Aggregate of Calcined Clay (SACC) through a comparative analysis of the Huet-Sayegh, 2S2P1D, and GHS models. The 2S2P1D model was identified as the most parametrically efficient, a finding supported by the GHS model, which showed that a third parabolic element was superfluous. The primary contribution lies in the interpretation of the fitted parameters, which defines a unique rheological signature for the SACC mixture: a lower glassy modulus coupled with an exceptionally high resistance to permanent deformation. This advantageous performance profile, particularly suited for high-temperature applications, shifts the focus from simply advocating for SACC use to providing a fundamental, model-based rationale for its implementation in sustainable pavement design.
