Book excerpt: Composite pavement systems have shown the potential for becoming a cost-effective pavement alternative for highways with high and heavy traffic volumes, especially in Europe. This study investigated the design and performance of composite pavement structures composed of a flexible layer (top-most layer) over a rigid base. The report compiles (1) a literature review of composite pavement systems in the U.S. and worldwide; (2) an evaluation of the state-of-the-practice in the U.S. obtained using a survey; (3) an investigation of technical aspects of various alternative composite pavement systems designed using available methodologies and mechanistic-empirical pavement distress models (fatigue, rutting, and reflective cracking); and (4) a preliminary life cycle cost analysis (LCCA) to study the feasibility of the most promising composite pavement systems. Composite pavements, when compared to traditional flexible or rigid pavements, have the potential to become a cost-effective alternative because they may provide better levels of performance, both structurally and functionally, than the traditional flexible and rigid pavement designs. Therefore, they can be viable options for high volume traffic corridors. Countries, such as the U.K. and Spain, which have used composite pavement systems in their main road networks, have reported positive experiences in terms of functional and structural performance. Composite pavement structures can provide long-life pavements that offer good serviceability levels and rapid, cost-effective maintenance operations, which are highly desired, especially for high-volume, high-priority corridors. Composite pavements mitigate various structural and functional problems that typical flexible or rigid pavements tend to present, such as hot-mix asphalt (HMA) fatigue cracking, subgrade rutting, portland cement concrete (PCC) erosion, and PCC loss of friction, among others. At the same time, though, composite systems are potentially more prone to other distresses, such as reflective cracking and rutting within the HMA layer. Premium HMA surfaces and/or reflective cracking mitigation techniques may be required to mitigate these potential problems. At the economic level, the results of the deterministic agency-cost LCCA suggest that the use of a composite pavement with a cement-treated base (CTB) results in a cost-effective alternative for a typical interstate traffic scenario. Alternatively, a composite pavement with a continuously reinforced concrete pavement (CRCP) base may become more cost-effective for very high volumes of traffic. Further, in addition to savings in agency cost, road user cost savings could also be important, especially for the HMA over CRCP composite pavement option because it would not require any lengthy rehabilitation actions, as is the case for the typical flexible and rigid pavements.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The main objective of this study was to evaluate the ability of a new asphalt composite pavement design to economically reduce rutting on asphalt pavements. In addition, the longevity of the pavement was to be assessed by determining the durability and permeability of the seal, its resistance to moisture damage in the lower layers of the pavement, and the overall pavement performance. The performance data do not support the use of the rut-resistant composite pavement (RRCP) design. Although there were only a few failures due to stripping, the extent of the failures was significant enough to warrant discontinuing the RRCP design. The failure mechanism in the RRCP was not due to rutting or cracking, but appears to be directly associated with stripping caused by hydrostatic pressure immediately below the plant mixed seal coat (PMSC) layer. The conditions which are present when stripping occurs are heavy traffic, high temperatures, and the presence of moisture.

Book excerpt: "Composite pavements have proved in Europe and the United States to have long service life with excellent surface characteristics, structural capacity, and rapid renewal when needed. Based on statistics compiled in 2000, approximately 30% of the urban interstate system and just over 20% of the rural interstate system is classified as "composite" pavement. In most cases the composite pavements are the result of maintenance and rehabilitation activities and not intentionally designed new composite pavement systems. This project developed the guidance needed to design and construct new composite pavement systems. The research determined the behavior, properties, and performance for both HMA/PCC and the PCC/PCC composite pavements under many climate and traffic conditions. Experimental composite pavements were constructed at MnROAD in Minnesota and the University of California Pavement Research Center at Davis, where the pavements were instrumented and monitored under climate and heavy traffic loadings. A composite pavement consisting of HMA over jointed plain concrete also was constructed in the field by the Illinois Tollway north of Chicago. At the Tollway, extensive field surveys were performed on 64 sections of the two types of composite pavements. This project also evaluated, improved, and further validated applicable structural, climatic, material, and performance prediction models, and design algorithms that are included in the AASHTO MEPDG and DARWin-ME, CalME, NCHRP 1-41 reflection cracking, NCHRP 9-30A rutting, and the Lattice bonding model. The current DARWin-ME overlay design procedure for HMA/PCC and a special R21 version of the Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide (MEPDG [v. 1.3000:R21]) can be used for new PCC/PCC composite pavements. The key to the sustainable features of new composite pavements is the ability to use higher levels of recycled materials in the lower concrete layer. Additionally, the thickness of the lower concrete layer can be reduced when considering the insulating effect of the top pavement surface. Intentionally designed and constructed composite pavements will help highway agencies meet the goal of building economical, sustainable pavement structures that use higher levels of recycled materials and locally available materials"--Foreword.

This book was released on 2018-05-26 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Premature cracking in asphalt pavements and overlays continues to shorten pavement lifecycles and creates significant economic and environmental burden. In response, RILEM Technical Committee TC 241-MCD on Mechanisms of Cracking and Debonding in Asphalt and Composite Pavements has conducted a State-of-the-Art Review (STAR), as detailed in this comprehensive book. Cutting-edge research performed by RILEM members and their international partners is presented, along with summaries of open research questions and recommendations for future research. This book is organized according to the theme areas of TC 241-MCD - i.e., fracture in the asphalt bulk material, interface debonding behaviour, and advanced measurement systems. This STAR is expected to serve as a long term reference for researchers and practitioners, as it contributes to a deeper fundamental understanding of the mechanisms behind cracking and debonding in asphalt concrete and composite pavement systems.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pavements need constant rehabilitation when they deteriorate with time and approach the end of their expected service lives. Overlay is the most prevalent treatment that restores its desirable condition and extends its life span of serviceability, especially for roads subjected to moderate and heavy traffic. Overlay composite design remains a major challenge due to difficulties in characterizing the complex behavior and assessing the existing condition of a combination of asphalt concrete (AC) and Portland cement concrete (PCC) layers over a soil subgrade. Deflection based design using falling weight deflectometer (FWD) deflection data offers an effective approach for overlay thickness design for composite pavements. It utilizes the deflection measurements of the pavement surface which can be used to back-calculate the subgrade and overlay composite properties and allows one to estimate the structural capacity of the existing pavement. However, the prevailing deflection based design procedure generally treats the AC and PCC as a single layer during the back-calculation and, as a result, frequently leads to less than satisfactory, usually over-conservative, design for overlay composites. The principal objective of this research is to develop improved FWD deflection based design strategies for overlay composite pavements. It is proposed that a three-layer linear elastic model be used for back-calculation of the moduli of all three layers: subgrade, PCC and AC. The structural capacity of the existing pavement is estimated using pavement surface deflections measured by FWD, the most commonly used pavement non-destructive testing (NDT) device. In the present study actual FWD deflection data for eleven construction projects are used to back-calculate the moduli of three layers. The three-layer model allows the composite pavement structure to be modeled more accurately. The elastic moduli of the asphalt concrete layer and the underlying Portland cement concrete can both be back-calculated, instead of combining them into one. The results show that the three-layer model produces higher effective thickness than the two-layer model for the same pavement structure, thereby reducing the required overlay thickness. However, there are a number of factors that can strongly influence the final overlay design thickness. The effects of computational error tolerances in back-calculation, temperature at FWD testing and variations in FWD deflection data are found significant and may cause unreliable design results and hence, two strategies to avoid excessively large or small back-calculated moduli are also explored: imposing moduli bounds and relaxing the precision convergence; they have been found very effective in mitigating the effect of large variations in deflection data. The statistical variations observed in the overlay design are also evaluated and two models are explored to improve the overall design procedure from the statistical perspective: Monte Carlo method and Point Estimation method. The effective thicknesses of existing pavement computed from reliability analysis are similar to those obtained from the proposed design method. This demonstrates the validity of the proposed design method and also the applicability of reliability based design in case the statistical parameters are available or can be obtained from engineering judgment.
