This book was released on 2005 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pavement design procedures, available in the literature, do not fully take advantage of mechanistic concepts, which make them heavily rely on empirical approaches. Because of the heavy dependence on empirical procedures, the existing design methodologies do not capture the actual behavior of Portland cement concrete (PCC) pavements. However, reliance on empirical solutions can be reduced by introducing mechanistic-empirical methods, which is now adopted in the newly released mechanistic-empirical pavement design guide (MEPDG). This new design procedure incorporates a wide range of input parameters associated with the mechanics of rigid pavements. To compare the sensitivity of these various input parameters on the performance of concrete pavements, two jointed plain concrete pavement (JPCP) sites were selected in Iowa. These two sections are also part of the Long Term Pavement Performance (LTPP) program where a long history of pavement performance data exists. Data obtained from the Iowa Department of Transportation (Iowa DOT) Pavement Management Information System (PMIS) and LTPP database were used to form two standard pavement sections for the comprehensive sensitivity analyses. The sensitivity analyses were conducted using the MEPDG software to study the effects of design input parameters on pavement performance of faulting, transverse cracking, and smoothness. Based on the sensitivity results, ranking of the rigid pavement input parameters were established and categorized from most sensitive to insensitive to help pavement design engineers to identify the level of importance of each input parameter. The curl/warp effective temperature difference (built-in curling and warping of the slabs) and PCC thermal properties are found to be the most sensitive input parameters. Based on the comprehensive sensitivity analyses, the idea of developing an expert system was introduced to help the pavement design engineers identify the input parameters that they can modify to satisfy the predetermined pavement performance criteria. Predicted pavement distresses using the MEPDG software for the two Iowa rigid pavement sites were compared against the measured pavement distresses obtained from the Iowa DOT's PMIS and comparison results are discussed in this study.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fatigue cracking and reflection cracking criteria were developed and incorporated into a design procedure for flexible and rigid overlays of rigid pavements. Linear elastic layered theory is the basic model used to compute stresses and strains in the pavement system, which are then input to the fatigue and reflection cracking models. The fatigue criteria developments resulted from analyses of the performance of rigid pavements at the AASHO Road Test.

Book excerpt: A three volume report prepared to provide highway engineers a ready reference on overlay design procedures. The first volume summarizes major overlay procedures, documenting their development and the conceptual basis of each and analyzing their sensitivity to required input data. Volume 2 contains the results of a questionnaire concerning use of overlay design procedures by state agencies and appendices for the first volume including the figures for the sensitivity analysis. Volume 3 contains a discussion of the evaluation procedure needed for determining if an overlay is required, the basic requirements of an overlay design procedure, reflection crack concerns, preoverlay repair recommendations, selection of the proper overlay type, and timing of overlay construction.

Download or read book Evaluation of the AASHTO Design Equations and Recommended Improvements written by Jerome F. Daleiden and published by Strategic Highway Research Program (Shrp). This book was released on 1994 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the primary objectives of the Strategic Highway Research Program Long Term Pavement Performance (SHRP-LTPP) studies is to improve the ability of highway engineers to design new and overlaid pavement structures. The specific analyses discussed in this report were aimed at evaluation of the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) pavement design equations (for both new and overlaid pavements). Initial analyses confirm that although improvements have been made to the AASHTO design equations over the years, the equations still do not fully explain data from North American pavements. Recommendations for the improvement of the design equations are provided; however, the highway community at large supports replacing the limited equations with a comprehensive design system that considers all distress types.
