Popis: International audience; This article assesses the impact of ageing on the properties of asphalt concrete (AC) by combining experiments and numerical simulations. Rheological tests were performed at four thermal ageing duration (0, 3, 6 and 9 days). The results show an increase in the complex modulus and a decrease in phase angle with ageing time. For each ageing time, semi-circular bending tests were carried out under two loading rates (1. mm/min and 5. mm/min) and three temperatures (-20˚C, 0˚C and 20˚C). The results shown an increase of the peak load when the loading rate increases for each thermal ageing time and temperature. No meaningful variation of the peak load with respect to the ageing time was observed at low temperatures. However, it was found that at 20˚C, the peak load increases with ageing duration. A finite element modelling was implemented to simulate the force-deflexion curve, coupling viscoelastic behaviour and crack growth criterion. The results show a similarity between numerical and experimental results.
