【 摘 要 】

References(26)The seismic behavior of asphaltic concrete used in embankment dams subjected earthquake loads has been studied. In order to evaluate the dynamic behavior, an extensive series of monotonic and cyclic tests were carried out on triaxial specimens of asphalt concrete used in hydraulic structures. The MTS-dynamic equipment at the Norwegian Geotechnical Institute (NGI) was used for this purpose. Temperature and frequency effects on specimen behavior and on specimen degradation have been studied under the cyclic loads in both isotropic and anisotropic initial stress conditions. For investigation of the fatigue behavior, thousands of cyclic loads were imposed on some of the specimens. Moreover, to study any sign of material degradation due to the cyclic loading, the post-cyclic monotonic stress-strain curve was compared with the corresponding curve for specimens that were not first subjected to cyclic loading. Geotechnical parameters to be used in dynamic numerical analysis models are also presented.
