Nonlinear Constitutive Model of High-Temperature Viscoelastic Deformation of Gussasphalt Concrete by Shunxian Zhang, Aimin Sha, Xu Lu, Wen Nie, Weixiong Li, Junjian Yan

“…Under other loading times, the permanent deformation of the specimen at 60°C is much greater than that at 50°C. There is a good fit between the mechanical model derived from the viscoelastic theory and the measured test data, and the correlation coefficient is greater than 0.98, indicating that the model can accurately describe the permanent deformation law of GA under periodic semivector sinusoidal pulse load at high temperatures. …”
