Book Structural Evaluation of Flexible Pavement Using Deflection Basin

Download or read book Structural Evaluation of Flexible Pavement Using Deflection Basin written by and published by . This book was released on 1989 with total page 21 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper presents a methodology for testing, evaluation and determination of overlay thickness required for a given pavement section. The overlay design procedure presented makes use of some of the recent developments for analysis and design of asphaltic concrete overlays. The evaluation of in-service pavements includes the use of the deflection parameters developed by testing of the existing pavements with known geometry for determining the moduli of various pavement layers and the required overlay thickness. The method utilizes empirical values and VESYS structural subsystem as an integral approach complementary to each other. Six pavement sections across the State of North Carolina were selected for deflection testing. Deflection parameters were developed to characterize the deflection data from these pavement sections. In addition, VESYS structural system was used to develop nomographs for the interpretation of the measured deflection basin parameters. These nomographs were used to backcalculate the layer moduli form deflection parameters and known layer thicknesses using iterative solutions. The backcalculated layer moduli from these nomographs correspond to the climate conditions that happen to exist during the time of testing and must therefore be adjusted to other climatic conditions. A procedure for such an adjustment is also included in the design procedure. Many different methods have been developed for determining an overlay thickness. These methods can be categorized in three groups : component analysis, deflection based, and analytically based. A mechanistic procedure is described in this paper. This procedure is based on the data and findings of a previous research and has been used to evaluate in-service pavements in North Carolina using Falling Weight Deflectometer (FWD) deflection parameters. The procedure includes four major parts : (a) FWD deflection parameters and data collection, (b) back-calculation of layer moduli, (c) adjustment of layer moduli and (d) prediction of overlay thickness. For the covering abstract of this Conference see IRRD abstract number 853851.

Book A Mechanistic Method for Evaluation of Layer Moduli and Overlay Design

Download or read book A Mechanistic Method for Evaluation of Layer Moduli and Overlay Design written by NA. Ali and published by . This book was released on 1989 with total page 13 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nondestructive testing (NDT) has long been used to evaluate flexible pavement structures. The increasing popularity of nondestructive pavement evaluation methods, based on interpretation of surface deflection, has promoted the development of several types of NDT devices. One such device is the falling weight deflectometer (FWD), which is used for the purpose of pavement evaluation in North Carolina. This paper presents a methodology for the testing, evaluation, and determination of overlay thickness required for a given pavement section and subgrade condition. The overlay design procedure presented makes use of some of the recent developments for analysis and design of asphaltic concrete overlays. The evaluation of in-service pavements includes the use of the deflection parameters developed by testing of the existing pavements with known geometry for determining the moduli of various pavement layers and the required overlay thickness. The method utilizes empirical values and the VESYS structural subsystem as an integral approach complementary to each other.

Book Evaluation of Pavement Deflection Measuring Equipment

Download or read book Evaluation of Pavement Deflection Measuring Equipment written by and published by . This book was released on 1987 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report documents the research performed on evaluation of pavement deflection equipment under Contract DTFH61-85-C-00115 for the Federal Highway Administration. The following devices were included in side-by-side field tests conducted in the Austin, Texas area during the week of August 11, 1986: the Benkelman Beam, C.E.B.T.P. Curviameter, Dynaflect, Dynatest Falling Weight Deflectometer (FWD), Kuab FWD, Phonix FWD, and the Road Rater. The report includes descriptions and comparisons of the devices through information obtained from a literature search, field tests and user survey conducted for this study. The side-by-side test program was performed over a broad range of pavement structures, including thick and thin flexible and rigid pavements, and composite pavements. The measured deflections were compared statistically. Mechanistic interpretations of the measured deflection basins were made and compared.

Book Pavement Deflection Evaluations

Download or read book Pavement Deflection Evaluations written by R. Clark Graves and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this study a procedure has been developed to evaluate the structural condition of pavements using Road Rater deflection measurements. These procedures compare actual field deflections with deflections calculated by the Chevron N-Layer linear elastic computer program. The results obtained from these procedures are the layer moduli of the pavement materials. Procedures have been developed for asphaltic concrete pavements and composite pavements, including broken and non-broken concrete layers. This report also contains a comparison of structural overlay determined using the results of the new procedure, with overlays calculated using results from the 2-3 Projected procedure currently used by the Pavement Management branch of the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet. A users manual from the computer programs developed during this study is included in the appendix of the report.

Book Overlay Design of Low Volume Road Using Light Weight Deflectometer

Download or read book Overlay Design of Low Volume Road Using Light Weight Deflectometer written by Vinod Kumar Adigopula and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2014-02 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book deals with methodology development of overlay design for low volume roads by means of a rational which accounts for determination of deflections of paved and unpaved surfaces with light weight deflectometer. In developing countries like India most of the overlay design of pavements was done by using static method like Benkelman beam deflectometer.This study took as it basis an assessment of the stress and strain distribution in the pavement layers to the materials failure envelope using KENPAVE software. Finally, the frame work of the proposed method contributes to overlay design of low volume road. It treats the pavement analytically, permitting a more fundamental description of the behavior of granular layers than in simple linear elastic analysis thus increasing its utility in one of the practical application for overlay design was discussed in volume-I. Further the comprehensive methodology development in analyzing the pavement layer moduli and corresponding back calculation procedure using contemporary statical tools along with research studies will be discussed in volume-II

Book Pavement Condition Measurement Needs and Methods

Download or read book Pavement Condition Measurement Needs and Methods written by and published by . This book was released on 1978 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study was to investigate current practice, select the best techniques, and recommend equipment and methodology suitable for pavement condition evaluation. It consisted of visits to chosen States to determine pavement properties that can be measured and provide data for management decisions. The information collected was supplemented with a literature search and a limited firsthand review of equipment in use. The recommended roadway property measurements needed for pavement condition evaluation as inputs to pavement management systems are skid resistance, roughness, structural capacity, and pavement distress used to assist in pavement repair strategy. Suggestions on data processing, storage, and retrieval are also given in the report.
