Resumo: Permanent deformation or rutting is a major distress in asphalt pavements. To predict permanent deformation of asphalt mixtures the dynamic creep test is often used in laboratory, with the result presented in terms of the so called flow number. However, for this work it was performed the triaxial repeated permanent deformation load test, a confined test that better represents field conditions. The models that incorporate the flow number do not represent the main zone of the dynamic creep test result, denoted secondary region, in which the permanent deformation rate of growth is constant. In this work the Shift Model was used, which is a viscoplastic model that accesses the permanent deformation from the superposition principles, i.e., time-temperature superposition and time-stress superposition. Thus, the asphalt mixtures were tested under different loading conditions, temperature, load time and rest period, in order to assess three parameters of the test: parameter C, which indicates where the secondary region begins (parameter that governs the primary region of the test); the parameter α (alpha) is the slope of the secondary region; and the parameter B represents the level of permanent deformation of the secondary region. The results show that the TRLPD test is more severe than the conventional dynamic creep test. Nevertheless, the use of TRLPD test represents an advance in the understanding of the behavior of asphalt mixtures with respect to rutting performance, and has the advantage of allowing the use of results in computational simulations.
