About the PP-VECD

 The PP-VECD software allows calculation of the damage characteristic curves, i.e., C versus S curves, of Asphalt Concrete (AC) Mixtures from uniaxial tension-compression (push-pull) fatigue data run at a constant frequency and temperature. Once the C vs S curves are computed, the software performs simulations of strain controlled tests and computes the number of cycles to failure (Nf) based on 50% reduction in |E*| criterion. The Nf values can be computed at a variety of temperatures, strain levels and frequencies.
