Download or read book Preliminary Fatigue Analysis of a Common TxDOT Hot Mix Asphalt Concrete Mixture written by and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past decade, the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) focused research efforts on improving mixture design to preclude rutting in the early life of the pavement, which also offered increased resistance to moisture damage, but fatigue cracking may surface in the long term particularly if the binder stiffens excessively due to aging. The primary goal of this project is to evaluate and recommend a fatigue analysis system for TxDOT designs to ensure adequate mixture fatigue performance in a particular pavement structure under specific environmental and loading conditions. A secondary goal of comparing fatigue resistance of commonly used TxDOT mixtures including investigating the effects of aging will also be realized.

Additional aspects that concern new materials and characterization, alternative rehabilitation techniques, technological advances as well as pavement and railway track substructure sustainability are included. The contributions discuss new concepts and innovative solutions, and are concentrated but not limited on the following topics: · Unbound aggregate materials and soil properties · Bound materials characteritics, mechanical properties and testing · Effect of traffic loading · In-situ measurements techniques and monitoring · Structural evaluation · Pavement serviceability condition · Rehabilitation and maintenance issues · Geophysical assessment · Stabilization and reinforcement · Performance modeling · Environmental challenges · Life cycle assessment and sustainability Bearing Capacity of Roads, Railways and Airfields is essential reading for academics and professionals involved or interested in transport infrastructure systems, in particular roads, railways and airfields.
Download or read book Application of Calibrated Mechanistic Fatigue Analysis with Aging Effects written by and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The work contained in this report constitutes Phase II of Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) Project 0-4468. The primary objective of Phase II was to provide additional laboratory validation and sensitivity analysis of the calibrated mechanistic with (CMSE) and without (CM) surface energy measurements fatigue analysis approaches recommended in Report 0-4468-2. The second objective was to provide a better understanding of the binder-mixture relationships and effects of binder oxidative aging on both mixture fracture properties and fatigue life (N sub f). The third objective was to explore the possibility of establishing a surrogate fatigue test protocol based on the CMSE approach. These objectives were achieved through fatigue characterization of additional hot-mix asphalt concrete (HMAC) mixtures with different mix-design parameters and materials under varying laboratory aging exposure conditions.

Download or read book Development and Validation of Performance Prediction Models and Specifications for Asphalt Binders and Paving Mixes written by Robert L. Lytton and published by Strategic Highway Research Program (Shrp). This book was released on 1993 with total page 500 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
