The primary objectives of this study were: (1) To evaluate the performance of stone mastic asphalt (SMA) mixes by performing fatigue tests, resilient modulus tests and creep tests; and (2) To input the resilient modulus, creep and fatigue data into the VESYS III-A pavement performance prediction model to determine the performance of the SMA mixes compared to the performance of the conventional, dense-graded asphalt mixes. Three surface course mixes were designed using the following mastic types: (1) Cellulose fibers; (2) Mineral fibers; and (3) Polymerized asphalt (Novophalt).
