Evaluation of Procedure to Assign Structural Layer Coefficients for Use in Flexible Pavement Design

ISBN:
Category : Pavements, Asphalt
Languages : en
Pages : 38
Book Description
The Kansas Department of Transportation (DOT) uses the 1993 DARWin version of the 1986 AASHTO Guide to design flexible pavements and rehabilitation strategies of flexible pavements. One of the inputs needed for the flexible pavement design procedure is the structural layer coefficient for each pavement layer. The Kansas DOT procedure to assign structural layer coefficients was developed years ago and based on an analysis of flexible pavement performance data and layer properties. It has been recently suggested that the Kansas DOT increase the structural layer coefficients because of changes in material and construction specifications. Different procedures can be used to estimate the structural layer coefficients for flexible pavement design. As part of the study entitled Determination of the Appropriate Use of Pavement Surface History in the KDOT Life-Cycle Cost Analysis Process an evaluation of the procedure that Kansas DOT uses to assign structural layer coefficients to different pavement materials was completed. This report provides the results of that evaluation.

ISBN: 042985580X
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 596
Book Description
Advances in Materials and Pavement Performance Prediction contains the papers presented at the International Conference on Advances in Materials and Pavement Performance Prediction (AM3P, Doha, Qatar, 16- 18 April 2018). There has been an increasing emphasis internationally in the design and construction of sustainable pavement systems. Advances in Materials and Pavement Prediction reflects this development highlighting various approaches to predict pavement performance. The contributions discuss links and interactions between material characterization methods, empirical predictions, mechanistic modeling, and statistically-sound calibration and validation methods. There is also emphasis on comparisons between modeling results and observed performance. The topics of the book include (but are not limited to): • Experimental laboratory material characterization • Field measurements and in situ material characterization • Constitutive modeling and simulation • Innovative pavement materials and interface systems • Non-destructive measurement techniques • Surface characterization, tire-surface interaction, pavement noise • Pavement rehabilitation • Case studies Advances in Materials and Pavement Performance Prediction will be of interest to academics and engineers involved in pavement engineering.

Development and Validation of Performance Prediction Models and Specifications for Asphalt Binders and Paving Mixes
Author: Robert L. LyttonPublisher: Strategic Highway Research Program (Shrp)
ISBN: 9780309056175
Category : Asphalt concrete
Languages : en
Pages : 500
Book Description
A result of the Strategic Highway Research Program's asphalt research is the development of performance-based specifications for asphalt binders and mixtures to control 3 distress modes: rutting; fatigue cracking; and thermal cracking. The SHRP A-005 project developed detailed pavement performance models to support these binder and mixture specifications and performance-based mixture designs. This report documents the findings of this extensive research effort and provides supporting data for the performance-based specifications and mixture design procedure called SUPERPAVE. The A-005 contract developed and used a sophisticated, mechanistic-based pavement performance model to define the relationships between asphalt binder and mixture properties and pavement distress. A comprehensive pavement performance model was developed that predicts the amount of fatigue cracking, thermal cracking and rutting in asphalt concrete pavements with time, using results from the accelerated laboratory tests. The pavement performance models for each distress were also used to confirm the relevant binder and mixture properties established by other SHRP contractors. The model has 3 parts: a mixture evaluation model; a pavement response model; and a pavement distress model.
