This book was released on 2016-05-25 with total page 735 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents the latest advances in research to analyze mechanical damage and its detection in multilayer systems. The contents are linked to the Rilem TC241 - MCD scientific activities and the proceedings of the 8th RILEM International Conference on Mechanisms of Cracking and Debonding in Pavements (MCD2016). MCD2016 was hosted by Ifsttar and took place in Nantes, France, on June 7-9, 2016. In their lifetime, pavements undergo degradation due to different mechanisms of which cracking is among the most important ones. The damage and the fracture behavior of all its material layers as well as interfaces must be understood. In that field, the research activities aims to develop a deeper fundamental understanding of the mechanisms responsible for cracking and debonding in asphalt concrete and composite (e.g. asphalt overlays placed on PCC or thin cement concrete overlay placed on asphalt layer) pavement systems.

Download or read book Development of a Procedure for the Structural Evaluation of Superheavy Load Routes written by Fritz J. Jooste and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Texas Department of Transportation (TXDOT) receives about 75 to 100 permit requests for superheavy load moves annually. Most of the moves take place in the southeast region of the state due to the proximity to the Gulf of Mexico and the presence of navigational inland waterways. Gross vehicle weights associated with these moves range from 1112 kN to over 8896 kN and include loads like dragline components, off-shore pipe-laying equipment, oil pressure veseels, and electric transformers. The number of superheavy load permit applications has increased over the years. Before a permit can be issued, TxDOT needs to determine whether the proposed route is structurally adequate to sustain the superheavy load. The analysis of damage potential under superheavy loads concerns the likelihood of a rapid, load-induced shear failure as opposed to the long-term accumulation of permanent deformation and fatigue due to repeated load applications. In this project, researchers developed a procedure for evaluating the potential for pavement damage prior to a superheavy load move based on the Mohr-Coulomb yield criterion. In developing this procedure, researchers investigated the sensitivity of the Mohr-Coulomb yield criterion to changes in the predicted stress state and material strength parameters; compared different models for evaluating pavement response under vehicle loading; and investigated the effect of different load configurations on the predicted pavement response and yield function value. Using the results from these investigations, researchers developed a two-stage procedure for the structural assessment of superheavy load routes which utilizes existing capabilities within TxDOT. Flexibility is provided to conduct structural evaluations with varying degrees of complexity depending on the quantity and quality of information available on the proposed superheavy load route. In the first stage, structural adequacy is evaluated by means of charts with minimal requirements for materials characterization. Relationships are provided for estimating resilient and strength parameters of base and subgrade materials from results of simple soil tests. Should the initial results indicate that the structure is inadequate to accommodate the expected superheavy load, then the second stage analysis should be conducted which requires a more detailed characterization of the proposed route. In this stage, the evaluation uses an incremental non-linear layered elastic computer program. This report documents the development of the methodology for permitting superheavy load moves.

Download or read book Highway Research written by Institution of Civil Engineers (Great Britain) and published by Thomas Telford. This book was released on 1991 with total page 468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The level of research activity in the highway sector as a whole has declined precipitously in recent decades, whilst the challenges facing US state highway agencies have escalated. As a result, a Strategic Highway Research Program - SHRP) was initiated to establish collaboration with research bodies tackling similar highway problems in countries worldwide. This collection of reports from around the world presents SHRP`s progress towards providing research-based new products from which the international highway engineering community may benefit. SHRP concentrates on six high-priority research areas: asphaltic materials; pavement performance; cement and concrete; maintenance cost effectiveness; concrete bridge component protection systems and the chemical control of snow and ice.
