Modeling static creep with stress reversals of mastic asphalt.

This thesis studies the strain response of mastic asphalt to arbitrary tension, arbitrary compression, alternating tension/compression, loading, zigzag loading and sinusoidal loading. In order to model the strain response to different loading histories, the scissors model is employed. Matlab modules are developed that are able to predict strain response not only for creep loading but also for other types of non constant stress loading such as zigzag loading and sinusoidal loading. In addition, another phenomological model, i.e. the viscoelastoplastic continuum damage model, is summarized and discussed in detail with respect to its applicability for the available data set.
