Ping and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) is a fundamental property of Portland cement concrete (PCC). The magnitude of temperature related pavement deformations is directly proportional to the CTE during the pavement design life. Because of its critical effect on PCC performance, it is proposed to be considered for distress and smoothness prediction by the newly developed Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide (M-E PDG). To account for M-E PDG implementation in Florida, three typical Florida concrete mixtures were experimentally measured for compressive strength, flexural strength, splitting tensile strength, Young's modulus, Poisson's ratio, and CTE according to AASHTO TP-60"--Technical report documentation p.

Download or read book Implementation of the Florida Cracking Model Into the Mechanistic empirical Pavement Design written by Björn Birgisson and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is important to accomodate top-down cracking in the design of asphalt mixtures and pavement structures. This report presents the implementation of the Florida cracking model into a mechanistic-empirical (ME) flexible pavement design framework. Based on the Energy Ratio (ER) concept, a new ME pavement design tool for top-down cracking has been developed. This design tool has been developed into an interactive Window-based software, making it convenient to use for Florida pavement design engineers.

Download or read book Development of Concrete Mechanical Properties Database for Pavement Mechanistic empirical Input written by Davis Kenneth Wing and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traditionally, pavements have been designed using empirical relationships with equations derived from observed pavement failures. Recently, the design of pavements using mechanistic approaches based on known material properties of pavement materials has become an industry expectation. Specifically, a program, AASHTOWare's Pavement ME, incorporates both mechanistic and empirical understandings of pavements in order to design and predict long-term pavement distresses. This thesis aims to develop a concrete materials database for mechanical properties specific to Georgia's rigid pavements. This database includes laboratory tested values of compressive strength, Young's modulus, modulus of rupture, and ultimate shrinkage. Twelve Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) approved concrete mixtures using Georgia specific concrete materials were batched, tested, and analyzed for these properties. Additionally, this thesis investigates which of these properties are most critical in rigid pavement design through sensitivity analysis conducted with Pavement ME at Input Level's 1, 2, and 3. Ultimately, this study provides design recommendations for critical mechanical properties as well as guidance for which Input Level to use for the design of Georgia rigid pavements.

Download or read book Guide for the Local Calibration of the Mechanistic empirical Pavement Design Guide written by and published by AASHTO. This book was released on 2010 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This guide provides guidance to calibrate the Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide (MEPDG) software to local conditions, policies, and materials. It provides the highway community with a state-of-the-practice tool for the design of new and rehabilitated pavement structures, based on mechanistic-empirical (M-E) principles. The design procedure calculates pavement responses (stresses, strains, and deflections) and uses those responses to compute incremental damage over time. The procedure empirically relates the cumulative damage to observed pavement distresses.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide (MEPDG) Version 1.1 model was used to analyze the performance of three typical concrete pavement designs in Florida to evaluate their suitability for use as long-life concrete pavements and the effects of various design parameters on their performance. Concrete slab thickness, concrete flexural strength, and the aggregate used in the concrete were found to be the three most significant factors affecting the predicted performance of the pavement evaluated. The type of base material and the stiffness of the base material appear to have no significant effect on the predicted performance. The Long-Term Pavement Performance (LTTP) database was used to evaluate the effects of various factors on the performance of Jointed Plain Concrete Pavements (JPCP). Critical stress analysis was also performed on the selected LTPP JPCP selections to determine the maximum stress in the concrete slab under a critical load and temperature condition.
