Download or read book Review of ODOT s Overlay Design Procedures HMA overlays of existing HMA and composite pavements written by and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ODOT initiated this research study to determine (1) the impact of milling off portions of the existing pavement on the structural capacity of the remaining pavement and (2) whether currently recommended HMA structural coefficients adequately reflect the structural properties of new HMA overlay materials. The study mainly focused on the impact of milling on the design of HMA overlays over existing flexible pavements and composite pavements. Volume I of the report deals with this main study focus area. During the course of the study, an additional focus area was added to the project to investigate the impact of completely milling off existing HMA layers in composite pavement systems on unbonded overlay design. Volume II of this report deals with impact of milling on unbonded overlays. Volume I describes the structural evaluation of individual flexible and composite pavement projects located at different sites throughout Ohio, as well as an analysis of the evaluation results to develop enhancements to the ODOT HMA overlay design procedure as needed. The report presents detailed descriptions of the projects evaluated, field testing procedures employed, procedures adopted for analyzing field testing data and other data collected, structural evaluation results, analysis of results, and recommendations for improvements of the current ODOT overlay design procedure. Volume II presents descriptions of the data collected, data analysis, observations, and recommendations for improvements of the current ODOT overlay design procedure.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The composite overlay design procedure currently used by ODOT sometimes produces very large overlay thicknesses that are deemed structurally unnecessary, especially for composite pavements already with thick asphalt overlays. This study was initiated to investigate the cause(s) and to develop a revised procedure. The current ODOT pavement overlay thickness design procedure is based on the structural deficiency approach recommended by the 1993 AASHTO Pavement Design Guide. The current procedure uses a simple, closed form procedure to back-calculate the subgrade modulus and the effective modulus of the existing pavement structure from the measured Falling Weight Deflectometer (FWD) surface deflections. The simplistic treatment of the AC and PCC layers as a combined layer in the back-calculation model was found to significantly underestimate the moduli of the existing pavement. A three-layer elastic model is adopted in lieu of the two-layer model used in the current procedure for back-calculation. The three-layer model allows the composite pavement structure to be modeled more accurately. The elastic moduli of the asphalt concrete layer and the underlying Portland cement concrete can both be back-calculated, instead of being combined as one. A revised overlay design procedure has been developed. A comparison of the revised procedure and the current procedure shows that the three-layer model produces higher effective thickness than the two-layer model for the same pavement structure. Therefore, the required overlay thickness is reduced. The revised design software has been implemented into a design software program, which also offers an optional feature that takes into consideration the temperature effects on the asphalt concrete moduli.

Book excerpt: As the US Highway system ages and available funding diminishes, transportation agencies are looking for effective methods for preserving and extending the life of existing pavements. These agencies are also being encouraged to minimize construction times and reduce the impact to the traveling public. Currently, the most common method of rehabilitating an existing roadway surface is through an HMA overlay; however, high oil prices have caused designers and agencies to consider other methods. One alternative to the traditional HMA overlay is a concrete overlay. The Iowa Department of Transportation (Iowa DOT) and Iowa counties and cities have completed about 1,000 miles of concrete overlays that are in use and are serving the traveling public today. Despite the completion of hundreds of projects, some agencies are reluctant to use concrete overlays, believing that they are expensive, difficult to build, and have limited application. To address these concerns, the National Concrete Pavement Technology Center at Iowa State University developed a guide document to assist engineers in concrete overlay design and construction. The Guide to Concrete Overlays was published in September 2008 and includes detailed information on evaluating existing pavements as concrete overlay candidates, selecting and designing the appropriate type of concrete overlay, and guidance on concrete overlay construction. Since the publication of this guide, the need has arisen to develop methods to improve concrete overlay efficiency utilizing current technology, investigate innovative materials for use as bond breakers, and reduce the inconvenience to the public with improved methods of traffic control and increased opening time.

Book excerpt: This report presents the findings of a research study conducted to develop procedures for the design of structural HMA overlays over existing flexible pavements in Wisconsin. The recommended procedures are presented in a hierarchal approach to allow the user the flexibility of estimating the effective structural number of an in-place HMA pavement based on visual and/or nondestructive deflection testing data and to develop overlay thickness requirements based on the structural deficiency approach.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Report 810: Consideration of Preservation in Pavement Design and Analysis Procedures explores the effects of preservation on pavement performance and service life and describes three different approaches for considering these effects in pavement design and analysis procedures. The report may serve as a basis for developing procedures for incorporating preservation in the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide: A Manual of Practice (MEPDG) and the AASHTOWare Pavement ME Design software. Initially, the scope of this project intended to develop procedures for incorporating pavement preservation treatments into the MEPDG design analysis process that would become part of the MEPDG Manual of Practice. However, it was determined that sufficient data were not available to support the development of such procedures. Appendices A through I are available online only." --

Book excerpt: State Highway Departments and local street and road agencies are currently faced with aging highway systems and a need to extend the life of some of the pavements. The agency engineer should have the opportunity to explore the use of multiple surface types in the selection of a preferred rehabilitation strategy. This study was designed to look at the portland cement concrete overlay alternatives and especially the design of overlays for existing composite (portland cement and asphalt cement concrete) pavements.

Book excerpt: A review and evaluation of existing rigid pavement overlay design procedures, including the ARE procedure (DOT-FH-11-8544) resulted in a fully computerized rational method for the design of overlays for rigid pavements. The OAR procedure has been applied to several pavements in different parts of the U.S. with excellent correlation in performance prediction. Data input to the program is simple and fast, and the report contains instructions on development of input data with a minimum of testing.
