Abstract
We report the improvement of a dynamic modulus model using a modified harmony search (MHS) algorithm to describe the resistance to rutting and fatigue cracking of asphalt concrete mixtures. The MHS algorithm was reformulated to improve the harmony search (HS) algorithm by introducing minimum and maximum bandwidths. Using the MHS algorithm, model parameters for lime-modified asphalt concrete mixtures were extracted and a good fit to the dynamic modulus data obtained from laboratory tests was achieved.
