Book Guide for Conducting Forensic Investigations of Highway Pavements  with supplemental material on CD ROM

Download or read book Guide for Conducting Forensic Investigations of Highway Pavements with supplemental material on CD ROM written by Gonzalo R. Rada and published by Transportation Research Board. This book was released on 2013 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program Report 747: Guide for Conducting Forensic Investigations of Highway Pavements explores a process for conducting forensic investigations of pavements that is designed to help understand the reasons behind premature failures or exceptionally good performance. The process also allows for the collection of data for use in developing or calibrating performance-prediction models. The report includes example forms and checklists for use during the conduct of an investigation. These forms can be modified to suit the particular requirements and procedures for the agency. The example forms are included with the print version of the report in CD-ROM format." --Publisher description.

Book An Investigation of Distresses Found in Concrete and Asphalt Pavements for Georgia Forensic Guide Recommendation

Download or read book An Investigation of Distresses Found in Concrete and Asphalt Pavements for Georgia Forensic Guide Recommendation written by Catherine Johnson and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis presents the recommendation for whether the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) should adopt the National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Report 747 (Guide for Conducting Forensic Investigations of Highway Pavements) as a guide to conduct forensic investigations. The evaluation of three pavement types using the NCHRP 747 guide is completed: Jointed Plain Concrete (JPC), Continuously Reinforced Concrete (CRC), and Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA). Each type consisted of an evaluation of two sites in "good/fair" and "poor" conditions. Non-destructive testing was performed using a Ground Penetration Radar (GPR) and Falling Weight Deflectometer (FWD). Destructive and on-site field testing were performed consistently with the recommendations of the guide. Laboratory tests were conducted to determine material properties and combined with traffic data to form conclusions about the causes of pavement distress. It is recommended from this study that the GDOT adopts the NCHRP Report 747 for use in Georgia.

Book Guide for the Local Calibration of the Mechanistic empirical Pavement Design Guide

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.

Book Framework for LTPP Forensic Investigations

Download or read book Framework for LTPP Forensic Investigations written by MACTEC Engineering and Consulting of Georgia and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The idea of forensic investigations has been discussed within the Long-Term Pavement Performance (LTPP) program for many years. The concept is that after a test section has gone out of service or is scheduled for rehabilitation, a forensic-type investigation should be performed to examine the details surrounding the causes and mechanisms of distress. In cases where the test section is going out of study or is scheduled for rehabilitation for reasons other than pavement failure, forensic investigations can also be performed to examine what worked and why.Accordingly, the purpose of this document is to provide a framework for forensic investigations at LTPP test sections. The framework is intended to promote consistency and uniformity within the program and to ensure that maximum benefit is derived from the investigations.
