Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Three pavement design software packages were compared with regards to how they were different in determining design input parameters and their influences on the pavement thickness. StreetPave designs the concrete pavement thickness based on the PCA method and the equivalent asphalt pavement thickness. The WinPAS software performs both concrete and asphalt pavements following the AASHTO 1993 design method. The APAI software designs asphalt pavements based on pre-mechanistic/empirical AASHTO methodology. First, the following four critical design input parameters were identified: traffic, subgrade strength, reliability, and design life. The sensitivity analysis of these four design input parameters were performed using three pavement design software packages to identify which input parameters require the most attention during pavement design. Based on the current pavement design procedures and sensitivity analysis results, a prototype pavement design and sensitivity analysis (PD&SA) software package was developed to retrieve the pavement thickness design value for a given condition and allow a user to perform a pavement design sensitivity analysis. The prototype PD&SA software is a computer program that stores pavement design results in database that is designed for the user to input design data from the variety of design programs and query design results for given conditions. The prototype Pavement Design and Sensitivity Analysis (PA&SA) software package was developed to demonstrate the concept of retrieving the pavement design results from the database for a design sensitivity analysis. This final report does not include the prototype software which will be validated and tested during the next phase.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The design number of gyrations (Ndesign) introduced by the Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP) and used in the Superior Performing Asphalt Pavement (Superpave) mix design method has been commonly used in flexible pavement design throughout the US since 1996. Ndesign, also known as the compaction effort, is used to simulate field compaction during construction and has been reported to produce air voids that are unable to reach ultimate pavement density within the initial 2 to 3 years post-construction, potentially having an adverse impact on long-term performance. Other state transportation agencies have conducted studies validating the Ndesign for their specific regions, which resulted in modifications of the gyration effort for the various traffic levels. Validating this relationship for Iowa asphalt mix designs will lead to better correlations between mix design target voids, field voids, and performance. A comprehensive analysis of current Ndesign levels investigated the current levels with existing mixes and pavements and developed initial asphalt mix design recommendations that identify an optimum Ndesign through the use of performance data tests.

This book was released on 1976 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Office of Contracts prepares an economical analysis for each alternate pavement design received from the Road Design Engineer. Both flexible and rigid pavement types are considered in this analysis. Generally, this involves three alternatives -- one for asphaltic concrete with asphaltic concrete resurfacing, one for portland cement using Class I aggregate with asphaltic concrete resurfacing, and one for portland cement using Class 2 aggregate. In certain locations in Iowa, a portland cement alternate using Class 5 concrete aggregate is also economically feasible. The purpose of the analysis is to determine the most economical combination of materials, construction, and maintenance costs for each alternate. The total cost of each pavement design is then compared by using a present worth basis of evaluation over a 30-year analysis period.

This book was released on 1997 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study is to develop a pavement thickness design method using reclaimed hydrated class C fly ash as a base material. Reclaimed fly ash from four Iowa sources was investigated, in an untreated state as well as stabilized with lime and raw fly ash. Standard tests, including proctor density, gradation, and specific gravity were performed to compare the reclaimed fly ash to standard earth materials. Extensive strength testing was conducted using California Bearing Ratio and unconfined compressive strength tests. Results of strength testing were correlated to structural layer coefficient for use in a flexible pavement design method. A general test and design method was also developed for reclaimed class C fly ash not specifically included in this study.

This book was released on 2014 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Midwest States Accelerated Pavement Testing Pooled Fund Program, financed by the highway departments of Kansas, Iowa, and Missouri, has supported an accelerated pavement testing (APT) project to validate several models incorporated in the NCHRP 1-37A design method, popularly known as Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide (MEPDG) for flexible pavements. The following models were investigated: the dynamic modulus estimation model, the relationship between the dynamic modulus and the pavement response; and the relationship between the pavement response (strains) and pavement performance. In addition to these, the experiment aims to compare the performance of the coarse and fine Superpave mixes, and to validate and calibrate the Asphalt Pavement Analyzer (APA) and Hamburg Wheel-Tracking Device Tester as screening tools for estimating rutting performance of Superpave asphalt mixes. The experiments were conducted at the Civil Infrastructure Systems Laboratory at Kansas State University. The test program consisted of constructing 12 flexible pavement structures and subjecting them to full-scale accelerated loading tests. The experiment found that the revised Witczak model predicts the dynamic modulus of asphalt concrete mixes with reasonable accuracy. The MEPDG structural response model under-predicted the longitudinal strains at the bottom of the asphalt concrete layers, while the MEPDG over-predicted the permanent deformation in the asphalt layer. The comparison between the results of the laboratory rutting tests performed at 35 degrees Celsius indicate that results of the Hamburg Wheel Rut Test correlate best with results of the APT experiment, followed by those from the APA.

Download or read book Structural Analysis and Overlay Design of Pavements Using the Road Rater written by Charles J. Potter and published by . This book was released on 1986 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years the Iowa DOT has shifted emphasis from the construction of new roads to the maintenance and preservation of existing highways. A need has developed for analyzing pavements structurally to select the correct rehabilitation strategy and to properly design a pavement overlay if necessary. This need has been fulfilled by Road Rater testing which has been used successfully on all types of pavements to evaluate pavement and subgrade conditions and to design asphaltic concrete overlays. The Iowa Road Rater Design Method has been simplified so that it may be easily understood and used by the widely diverse groups of individuals which may be involved in pavement restoration and management. Road Rater analysis techniques have worked well to date and have been verified by pavement coring, soils sampling and testing, and pavement removal by block sampling. Void detection testing has also been performed experimentally in Iowa, and results indicate that the Road Rater can be used to locate pavement voids and that Road Rater analysis techniques are reasonably accurate. The success of Road Rater research and development has made deflection test data one of the most important pavement management inputs.
