Two-Parameter Weibull Distribution Theory Testing Analysis in Fatigue Life of Asphalt Mixture

Abstract:

It has been commonly used normal distribution to describe the fatigue life of asphalt concrete. Because of the variability of the material itself and environmental conditions for test, experimental fatigue life datas obtained show a large discrete. Through a large number of laboratory tests and optimization of the strong representation of the data source, this paper verified distribution of the fatigue life of asphalt concrete in statistical in the use of two-parameter Weibull distribution theory and obtained fatigue life equation by regression under different failure probability.The results showed that: Weibull distribution theory can be used to describe asphalt concrete fatigue life distribution under the complicated conditions in a multi-factor.
