Preliminary study of linear viscoelasticity limits of cold recycled mixtures determined in Simple Performance Tester (SPT)

The publication presents methodology developed for determination of linear viscoelasticity limits for cold recycled mixtures with cement and bituminous emulsion using Simple Performance Tester (SPT). Methodology was verified on reference materials (PCV and steel dummy specimens, cement concrete and asphalt concrete) to comply with elasticity and viscoelasticity theory. The developed methodology enabled determination of linear viscoelasticity limits for the tested cold recycled mixtures for base course. Tests were conducted for controlled strain ranging from 10 up to 110 µstrain. Linear viscoelasticity limits were determined based on stiffness moduli and phase angles. The combination of binding agents and test temperature had the greatest influence on the obtained values.
