Efecto de la tenacidad del asfalto en la resistencia a fatiga de las mezclas asfálticas Asphalt toughness effect on bituminous mixture fatigue behavior by Alfredo H Noguera, Rodrigo Miró

“…Uno de los parámetros más importantes para definir el comportamiento de la mezcla en servicio es la tenacidad que el asfalto proporciona al aglomerar los agregados, es decir, la energía que se disipa al fracturar la mezcla, entre mayor sea dicha energía mejor será su calidad. Y por lo tanto, deberá existir una relación si dicha cantidad de energía se disipa en un ciclo de carga (tracción) o con muchos ciclos durante el tiempo (fatiga). …”
