Abstract:

The development and finite element (FE) implementation of a stress-dependent elastoviscoplastic constitutive model with damage for asphalt is described. The model includes elastic, delayed elastic, and viscoplastic components. The strains (and strain rates) for each component are additive, whereas they share the same stress (i.e., a series model). This formulation was used so that a stress-based nonlinearity and sensitivity to confinement could be introduced into the viscoplastic component without affecting the behavior of the elastic and delayed elastic components. A simple continuum damage mechanics formulation is introduced into the viscoplastic component to account for the effects of cumulative damage on the viscoplastic response of the material. The model is implemented in an incremental formulation into the CAPA-3D FE program developed at Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands. A local strain compatibility condition is utilized such that the incremental stresses are determined explicitly from the incremental strains at each integration point. The model is demonstrated by investigating the response of a semirigid industrial pavement structure subjected to container loading. Results show that the permanent vertical strains in the non-stress-dependent case are significantly lower than the permanent vertical strains in the stress-dependent case. Results also show that in the stress-dependent case, there is a more localized area of high permanent vertical compressive strain directly under the load at approximately half-depth in the asphalt compared with the non-stress-dependent case, in which the distribution is more even.
