Fatigue behaviour of a glass fiber reinforced asphalt mix in 4 points bending test and damage evolution modeling

Key Points

• Fatigue behaviour impacts the longevity of asphalt mixes, influencing infrastructure performance.
• Asphalt mixes exhibited improved resistance under 4-point bending tests, highlighting their potential applications.
• Analysis revealed significant damage evolution under repeated stress, indicating materials may fail over time.
• Findings support the need for better materials in construction, particularly for heavy-load bearing infrastructures.
