Asphalt Institute in 1981 developed a model but had some limitations. However, to curb the effects of shift factors S f, seen as limitations, the Asphalt Institute model was further modified to accommo-date shift factors from various combinations of asphalt binder types and grades (Asphalt Institute, 1982). The resulting equation is of the form ...

The relation should be analogous to the manner in which the laboratory-determined fatigue equation of a mixture with unmodified binder is related to the fatigue equation of pavement structure with this mixture in the asphalt base course, e.g., according to the AASHTO 2004 formula.

All tests were displacement controlled. None of the existing fatigue relationships were adequate. As a result, a new equation was developed that better fits AC-2.5 and AC-5 at temperatures below 45 deg F. This equation is much more sensitive to strain than the Asphalt Institute equations.

The fatigue equation was established based on the PV of PDR and the fatigue life was predicted by analyzing the relation of the fatigue life to the PV. The results show that the RRED decreases with the increase of the number of loading cycles, and the elastic recovery ability of …

Fatigue failure is regarded as one of the most common failures in the road pavement and necessitates spending huge cost annually to maintain the road. Asphalt binder modification and asphalt mixture reinforcement are among the commonly used methods to increase the pavement resistance to a failure caused by fatigue. By proposing a modified-reinforced composite hot mix asphalt (MRC …

The SHRP and Asphalt Institute models used suggested field shift factors (FSFs). The fatigue models studied were originally developed for predicting crack initiation in the laboratory. In using these models to predict fatigue life in actual pavements, crack propagation is usually addressed through an empirically determined FSF.

The fatigue equation is the same as Equation 30, but the thickness correction term (C H) is given by Equation 33: Where H HMA is the total thickness of the hot-mix asphalt (in.). The transfer function to calculate longitudinal fatigue cracking from the fatigue damage is given by Equation 34 :

Nowadays design using IRC 37-2012 is followed but the durability of pavement is less due to weather conditions. Design using the Asphalt institute method is very economical and the durability of pavement increases by using emprical equation. It is proven that the thickness of pavement increases in the Asphalt institute method than IRC.

Equation 1 was based on a fatigue equation originally proposed by the Asphalt Institute (Shook et al., 1982; Monismith et al., 1972). An alternative approach to addressing traffic- associated fatigue in flexible pavements based on the Shell fatigue equations was considered but later abandoned.
