| Summary: | Here, we develop a model predicting the dynamic moduli of hot-mix asphalt/concrete using the extended Kalman filter (EKF) algorithm and draw frequency-domain master curves. Discrete dynamic moduli were obtained via impact resonance tests (IRTs) on linear viscoelastic (LVE) asphalt at 20, 30, 35, 40, and 50°C. Typically, viscoelastic characteristics have been used to derive asphalt dynamic moduli; compressive frequency sweep tests at different frequencies (Hz) and temperatures are employed to this end. We compared IRT-derived viscoelastic master curves obtained via compressive frequency sweep testing to those derived using the EKF algorithm, which employs a nonlinear sigmoidal curve and a Taylor series to explore the viscoelastic function. The model reduced errors at both low and high frequencies by correcting the coefficients of the master curve. Furthermore, the predictive model effectively estimated dynamic moduli at various frequencies, and also root-mean-square errors (RMSEs) which, together with the mean percentage errors (MPEs), were used to compare predictions. |
