abstract = {This article presents a new methodology of analysis based on a fast-running experimental
procedure to characterise the mechanical response of asphalt mortars in terms of stiffness, ductility,
and fatigue resistance. This was achieved using the DMA (Dynamic Mechanical Analyser) threepoint
bending configuration. The study was carried out by considering the employment of different
types of fillers such cement and CaCO3 and different types of binders such as conventional asphalt
binder (B35/50) or modifided polymer-modified bitumen (PMB 25/55–65). From the results of this
study, the filler was found to have a greater influence on the stiffness and ductility of the asphalt
material, while bitumen had a higher effect on the fatigue life of the asphalt mortar. Fatigue life was
observed to increase with the use of a polymer-modified binder, while a lower degree of permanent
deformation and higher bearing capacity achieved by the use of cement instead of calcium carbonate
as active fillers.},
