Three-Dimensional Linear Behavior of Bituminous Materials: Experiments and Modeling

, 2007
The linear viscoelastic properties of bituminous mixtures are used to design pavement structure. Usually, only complex moduli E* (complex Young modulus) or G* (complex shear modulus) characterizing the stiffness of the materials in one direction (1D) are
