Master curve parameters

The master curve parameters may be determined from frequency sweep tests on beams or shear tests, using the Repeated Simple Shear Tests at Constant Height (RRST-CH), from initial values during fatigue tests or RSST-CH tests to determine permanent deformation parameters, or from FWD tests.

 

Parameters determined from a number of calibration studies are shown in Master curve.xls

 

The parameters in the spreadsheet are from the equations below:
