New simplified approach for obtaining a reliable plateau value in fatigue analysis of bituminous materials

The Plateau Value (PV) based on the Ratio of Dissipated Energy Change (RDEC) approach has been proven to provide a unique relationship with the fatigue life, Nf, independent of loading mode, temperature and frequency. In this paper, a new simplified approach is proposed to compute the unique energy...
