Abstract
In this study, 65 asphalt core specimens taken from D100/11 state highway section in Turkey were examined for their physical properties in the laboratory. Analysis of data was conducted to determine the effects of the varying environment temperature and varying length of exposure to these temperatures on the stability of the asphalt core samples using destructive, Marshall, method. The asphalt core samples were determined using SPSS statistical program for modeling. Simulated annealing was implemented to determine a set of unknown parameters which best matched the asphalt concrete model predictions with experimental data. This modeling procedure can be used as a guideline for experiments to improve the stability of the asphalt concrete. The stability of the asphalt concrete is taken as the main objective function with respect to voids of volume, saturated unit volume weight, air dry unit volume weight, environment temperature, and exposure time.
