Empirical Analysis of Fatigue Performance in Recycled Asphalt Pavement under Variable Climatic Conditions: A Case Study from the Trans-Canada Highway
Keywords:
Recycled Asphalt Pavement, Fatigue Performance, Climatic Variability, Predictive Modeling, Sustainable Transportation EngineeringAbstract
This study investigates the fatigue performance of recycled asphalt pavement (RAP) under variable climatic conditions along the Trans-Canada Highway. A series of laboratory fatigue tests were conducted using RAP samples collected from multiple sites. The study reveals significant insights into the temperature-dependent degradation mechanisms and provides a novel predictive model for pavement lifespan. Results underscore the importance of regional climate adaptation in pavement engineering strategies, contributing to both economic efficiency and sustainability.
