Download or read book Evaluation of Alternatives to Improve Pavement Design written by N.S. Shah and published by . This book was released on 1985 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report provides results of a detailed study to determine the merits of selected premium design features for (a) flexible, (b) composite, (c) jointed plain concrete and (d) continuously reinforced concrete pavements. In addition, it includes an evaluation of the effectiveness of prestressed concrete pavements in relation to four types of pavements with and without premium design features. Based upon a thorough review of design procedures of the four types of pavements, the premium features that deserve to be evaluated were identified. The review study, in addition, identified the performance/design models in evaluating those features. Following a preliminary sensitivity analysis, the features identified were incorporated in pavement design trials. Based upon performance/reliability evaluations, and life cycle cost analysis using EAROMAR II computer program, the effectiveness of the respective premium features were evaluated. The results provide clear evidence of the economic benefits of many of the premium features which might be included in the design of pavements. finally, the performance of prestressed concrete pavements was compared with that of the other four types of pavements.

Download or read book Evaluation of the Cost Benefits of Continuous Pavement Preservation Design Strategies Versus Reconstruction written by and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The continued preservation of ADOT's pavements becomes an ever- increasing issue as non-renewable resources such as mineral aggregate become more and more difficult to obtain. Historically, ADOT's design philosophies have resulted in strategies that consist primarily of mill and fill and overlay. These pavement strategies are designed for approximately a ten year life, at which time, another similar treatment would be performed. Proper design philosophies evaluate life cycle costs to select the best available design option. However, the life cycle cost consists of both the construction cost and the user cost incurred by the public through delay, etc. While construction costs are easily defined, user costs are very difficult to quantify and often times may actually exceed the actual cost of the facility being constructed. Since the user costs are not directly borne by the agency, it becomes somewhat of a philosophical discussion as to what user costs should be considered. In recent times, mineral aggregate sources have become increasingly more difficult to obtain in Arizona. However, our current design philosophies and economics requires needing new materials approximately every ten years. There is a need to consider reconstruction of significant roadways so that they can obtain design lives, perhaps as many as thirty to forty years before rehabilitation or reconstruction.

Download or read book Advances in Pavement Design through Full scale Accelerated Pavement Testing written by David Jones and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2012-09-06 with total page 560 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pack: Book and CD Internationally, full-scale accelerated pavement testing, either on test roads or linear/circular test tracks, has proven to be a valuable tool that fills the gap between models and laboratory tests and long-term experiments on in-service pavements. Accelerated pavement testing is used to improve understanding of pavement behavior, and evaluation of innovative materials and additives, alternative materials processing, new construction techniques, and new types of structures. It provides quick comparisons between current and new practice and the ability to rapidly validate and calibrate models with quality data, with minimal risk at relatively low cost. Advances in Pavement Design through Full-scale Accelerated Pavement Testing is a collection of papers from the 4th International Conference on Accelerated Pavement Testing (Davies, CA, USA, 19-21 September 2012), and includes contributions on a variety of topics including: - Overview of Accelerated Pavement Testing - Establishment of New Accelerated Pavement Testing Facilities - Review of the Impact of Accelerated Pavement Testing Programs on Practice - Instrumentation for Accelerated Pavement Testing - Accelerated Pavement Testing on Asphalt Concrete Pavements - Accelerated Pavement Testing on Portland Cement Concrete Pavements - Accelerated Pavement Testing to Evaluate Functional Performance - Relating Laboratory Tests to Performance using Accelerated Pavement Testing - Development and Calibration of Empirical and Mechanistic-empirical Pavement Design Procedures and Models - Benefit-cost Analysis of Accelerated Pavement Testing Advances in Pavement Design through Full-scale Accelerated Pavement Testing will be useful to academics and professionals involved in pavement engineering.
