Book Description
Flexible and rigid pavements were constructed and tested to obtain data on pavement and soil behavior under large aircraft loadings for use in developing criteria for evaluating and designing airfield pavements subjected to multiple-wheel heavy gear loads (WMHGL). The test sections incorporated instrumentation systems designed to determine the response of the pavement structures to static, dynamic (slowly moving), and vibratory loads and to traffic by full prototype loadings of a 12-wheel assembly (one main gear of a C-5A aircraft), a twin-tandem assembly (one twin-tandem component of the Boeing 747 assembly), and a single wheel. Analysis of static load response data from the flexible pavement instrumentation program resulted in the establishment of maximum elastic deflection and vertical elastic stress versus depth curves. Comparisons showed that the same relationships were true for static and dynamic load tests, as well as for speed tests. The findings for the rigid pavement test section indicated that the Westergaard algorithm can be used for reasonable predictio of pavement response to test loadings. The data from the instrumentation program and the traffic tests were used in the analysis of the flexible and rigid pavement test sections. The analysis resulted in a modification of the basic flexible pavement CBR design method. (Author).

Pages : 547
Book Description
Flexible and rigid pavement test sections were constructed and tested to gain information on pavement and soil behavior under large aircraft loadings. These test sections incorporated instrumentation systems designed to deteermine the response of the pavement structures of static, dynamic (slowly moving), and vibratory loads and to traffic by full prototype loadings. This volume covers data reduction, analysis, and the findings of the instrumentation and vibratory testing programs; Appendixes A and B contain details of instrumentation measurements for flexible and rigid pavements, respectively.

Ratiocinative Design Criteria for Membrane-enveloped Fine-grained Soil Layers
Author: George M. Hammitt
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Membranes (Technology)
Languages : en
Pages : 216
Book Description
This investigation consists of full-scale testing, laboratory evaluation, and presentation of improved design criteria using membrane-enveloped fine-grained soil (MESL) within pavement layers. The research provides a description of proven materials and necessary construction techniques. Cost predictions are developed using these materials and techniques and predictions are compared with actual costs. Material characterization was performed in the laboratory and field using dynamic vibratory testing. The characteristics of materials employed in a full-scale MESL test section were used in a structural analysis of this type of load supporting media subjected to moving repetitive loadings. This analysis of stress conditions was facilitated by computer solution. Limiting criteria based on the shearing strain in the subgrade and the number of stress applications were developed as failure criteria. These criteria were formulated using performance data and model analyses. A design method using materials characterization, structural analysis, and failure criteria was presented to facilitate incorporation of a MESL technique into the design engineer's repertoire.
