摘要
The dynamic modulus (E*) of asphalt mixtures is essential for Mechanistic-Empirical (ME) pavement designs but is seldom tested by Departments of Transportation (DOTs) due to the high cost and complexity of traditional E* tests. This study introduces an Artificial Intelligence (AI)-powered IDEAL-E* test that integrates IDEAL cracking tests at various temperatures, finite element analysis, and machine learning. This innovative approach addresses the limitations of existing models that struggle with evolving asphalt compositions. By simplifying the generation of E* data, it facilitates its use in AASHTO Pavement ME design software and is aligned with current practices with IDEAL cracking tests in DOTs' QA and contractors' QC labs.
