This book was released on 2004 with total page 39 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Long-term prediction of the performance and durability of pavement represents a critical and vital issue in the pavement surface type selection process by the Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) using the life-cycle-cost analysis. Accurate prediction of roughness progression on Portland Cement Concrete (PCC) pavements is very important since the current model used by KDOT is based on the pavement serviceability guidelines (1993 AASHTO Design Guide). In this study, dynamic Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and statistical analysis approaches were used to develop reliable and accurate time-dependent roughness (International Roughness Index, IRI) prediction models for the newly constructed Kansas Jointed Plain Concrete Pavements (JPCP). To achieve this objective, data used in the model development process include construction and materials data as well as other inventory items, such as, traffic and climatic related data, which reflect the section-specific local conditions in Kansas.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pavement smoothness is a major factor affecting the performance of the highway surface and the safety and satisfaction of the traveling public. Smooth pavement results in better gas mileage, less vehicle wear, and less driver stress and fatigue. Pavement smoothness is the single most important indicator of pavement condition as viewed by the traveling public. Many state highway agencies, including the Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT), have adopted specifications that set forth a goal of minimal levels of roughness for newly built pavements. Some specifications also include significant incentive/disincentive provisions to encourage contractors to concentrate their efforts on building smooth pavements. This report highlights the development of the smoothness specification for Portland Cement Concrete Pavement (PCCP) beginning in 1985 and for Asphalt Concrete Pavement (ACP) beginning in 1990. The early specifications used the 0.2 inch Blanking Band while evaluating the traces generated using the manual California type profilograph. In 1986, incentive/disincentive clauses allowed bonus payment for PCCP constructed with less than 4 in/mile of surface roughness and penalty (reduced payment) for over 12 in/mile using the 0.2 inch Blanking Band. The implementation of the smoothness specification resulted in dramatic improvement in PCCP smoothness. In 1990 the stage was set for change. The initial projects requiring the use of the profilograph with the 0.2 inch Blanking Band to measure smoothness of ACP provided a high percentage (64%) of bonus level sections thus indicating the need for a modification to the existing specification. Similarly, the PCCP projects built in 1990 also had a high percentage (63%) of bonus level sections while using the 0.2 inch Blanking Band. However, there was one PCCP reconstruction project that had achieved about 47% bonus sections but produced a high frequency vibration in the vehicle when driving at normal speed. A review of the original profilograph traces revealed a short length sine wave roughness that was slightly less than 0.2 inches in amplitude and thus was almost completely covered by the 0.2 inch Blanking Band.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Statistical specifications for highway construction are usually part of a statistical quality control process. These specifications provide the means to measure the important quality control attributes and ensure their compliance. The pay adjustments, part of these specifications, reflect the amount of deduction or bonus and the optimized risk distributed between the owner and the contractor. The Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) has built a comprehensive database of as-constructed properties of materials for Superpave pavements from the tests required as part of the Quality Control/Quality Assurance (QC/QA) program. Currently, KDOT pays incentives/disincentives for air voids and in-place density for Superpave pavements and thickness and strength for PCC pavements. A practical performance model and a composite index that include air voids, in-place density, asphalt content, and voids in mineral aggregate for Superpave pavements and thickness and strength for PCC pavements, respectively are needed to reflect the factors that affect their performance. The main objectives of this study were to investigate the effect of levels of significance and lot size, and to develop practical performance models and composite index for Superpave and PCC pavements in Kansas. Thirty-five Superpave pavements and 13 PCC projects from six administrative districts of KDOT were selected for this study. Lot-wise comparison showed that QC/QA means are significantly different in most cases. The number of cases with a significant difference in means increases with an increase in significance level. Practical performance models and composite index values from multiple quality characteristics have been proposed as integral parts of performance-related specifications (PRS) for Superpave and PCC pavements in Kansas.

Book excerpt: This synthesis report will be of interest to pavement design, construction, management, and research engineers, highway safety officials, and others concerned with pavement friction characteristics. It describes the current state of the practice and discusses the methods used for evaluating wet pavement friction characteristics of new and restored pavements. This synthesis reviews models used for measuring and evaluating friction and texture, causes for friction changes over time, and aggregate and mix design to provide adequate friction. Also presented are construction and surface restoration practices for providing good pavement surface characteristics. In addition, considerations of noise and ride quality are discussed when compromise may be required.
