3 NEED FOR UNIFIED MODEL Material under mechanical and environmental loading can experience various responses simultaneously l Elastic, plastic, creep deformations, Microcracking leading to softening, fracture and failure, And Healing or strengthening Important for Pavement Materials Hence, Unified model that account for various responses is desirable and needed.

4 Research in US Significant effort and expenditure have been spent with the objective to develop a Unified model for pavement materials in various projects, e.g. Superpave in USA H it h d l h However, it appears such a model has been NOT available, yet.

5 Resilient Modulus Model Used Widely However, it is essentially nonlinear (piecewise) elastic model Could provide vertical Displacement; i.e. its universal version may be valid for this quantity But does not provide two- and three-dimensional stress, Stress and displacements, Hence, it can not account for other important factors such as cracking, fracture, softening, i.e Rutting or permanent deformation, Microcracking and Fracture Thermal Cracking Reflection Cracking

6 DISTURBED STATE CONCEPT (DSC) DSC is a unified and hierarchical model that can account for various behavioral aspects, simultaneously. Its basic mathematical framework allows modeling for both SOLIDS, and INTERFACES and JOINTS The hierarchical property allows user to adopt a version(s) of the DSC for specific material need of the user.

7 Approaches for Pavement Analysis, Design and Maintenance Empirical (E) Mechanistic Empirical i (M-E) Full Mechanistic (M) DSC is capable of both M-E and M

8 Bound (Concrete and Asphalt Concrete) and Unbound Materials Are very often Discontinuous Initially and/or During deformation Therefore, conventional models based on continuum theories such as elasticity and plasticity may not be valid. Hence, a Unified Model should account for discontinuities such as due to microcracking or microslips and relative motions, leading to fracture and failure. In fact, such a model need to account for both continuity and discontinuity, at the same time.

Plots of Yield Surface, F, in Stress Spaces Used by Scarpas; Bonaquist, and others

19 Compressive and Tensile Yields Usually models for pavement (also geologic) g materials are defined from compression tests. Hence, the yield behavior in plasticity (HISS) model is valid for compressive yield. Often, when tensile (extension) stress develops, different, ad hoc, models are used, such as Stress transfer and Hoffman (Scarpas) It is usually difficult to use a model for compressive yield to define tensile yield, because the behavior and parameters in compression and tension are different.

22 It is possible to develop the HISS model for both compressive and tensile yield. Determine yield parameters both from compression and tension tests Input them in computer code Use them depending di on the state t (compressive or tensile) of stress induced.

36 Rate Effect Static Yield Surface in evp (Perzyna) Model In the evp model the yield surface refers to the static surface, i.e. related to the test data at the lowest (possible) strain rate Usually test data are available at strain rate higher than the static rate. A new method is proposed to determine the stress-strain strain behavior at static state based on available creep test data.

75 DSC Capabilities Unified Constitutive model: ---Elasticity ----Elastoplasticity Creep: Elasto-viscoplasticity ---Microcracking to Fracture Softening or Degradation, --- Healing or Stiffening --- Thermal effects -- Moisture Loading: Static, Repetitive, Dynamic Two- and Three-Dimensional Analyses with Dry and coupled( fluid flow through porous media) Pavement Analysis and Design: Rutting or permanent deformation, Microcracking and Frcature Thermal Cracking Reflection Cracking

76 Hierarchical Options If D=0 Continuum Models, Elastic, Plastic or Creep etc. If D > 0 Microcracking Leading to Fracture, Softening or Degradation D< 0 Stiffening or Healing

77 Conclusions DSC is considered d to be unique and Unified model for pavement analysis, design and Maintenance Parameters have physical meanings and are equal to or lower than other models of comparable capabilities Parameters can be determined from standard triaxial or Multiaxial tests for asphalt or concrete and shear tests for interfaces and joints It has been implemented in 2- and 3-D nonlinear computer (finite element) procedures

78 Conclusions (continued) It is been validated at both specimen and practical boundary value problem levels for many engineering problems including geotechnical, structural, coupled porous media flow, mechanical, electronic packaging and Pavement engineering ***

79 Future Research on Unified DSC Models A number of factors affecting pavement materials have been considered; however, others such as thermal and moisture effects relevant to pavements are not fully developed. Laboratory testing under mechanical (two- and three-dimensional conditions), thermal, moisture, etc. for pavement materials need to be investigated. Topics such as Healing, Reflection cracking, Creep and static yield surface, Rate Dependence and Compressive/Tensile yield, need to be investigated in details. Validation is a Vital aspect in which field and/or laboratory simulated practical problems should be tested and actual behavior be measured. Here, use of available test data could be considered.
