Original Abstract

In this paper two different methodologies of fatigue testing as used in the Czech Republic have been adopted and compared. Fatigue tests on selected asphalt concrete mixtures (AC) by two point bending (2PB-TR) and four point bending tests (4PB-PB) using trapezoidal and prismatic beams respectively. Even if these methodologies of the above stated tests are known for several years, the interpretation of the test results according to the EN 12697-24 standard is rather unclear. The fatigue properties have been compared. The paper takes over the results from the 2nd Workshop on Four Point Bending, which took place in Portugal, where stiffness modules were compared on the same mixes.
