This book was released on 1996 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report presents the results of an evaluation process of several different flexible pavement backcalculation programs. The objective of this study was to compare the performance of the candidate programs in terms of useability and accuracy of backcalculation results. This was accomplished by evaluating the selected programs using both field and simulated data. The results of the analysis were used as the basis for selecting a program for routine analysis of Mn/ROAD pavement deflection data. In situ pavement strains were measured during falling-weight deflectometer tests. The measured strains were then compared to backcalculated strain values from each program. In addition to the field tests, a series of hypothetical pavement structures with a range of prescribed layer thicknesses and moduli were analyzed to obtain surface deflection data. These surface deflections were then used as input for each program involved in the study. The output from each program was compared to the expected values.

This book was released on 2020-06-23 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book highlights the basic concepts of the CS algorithm and its variants, and their use in solving diverse optimization problems in medical and engineering applications. Evolutionary-based meta-heuristic approaches are increasingly being applied to solve complicated optimization problems in several real-world applications. One of the most successful optimization algorithms is the Cuckoo search (CS), which has become an active research area to solve N-dimensional and linear/nonlinear optimization problems using simple mathematical processes. CS has attracted the attention of various researchers, resulting in the emergence of numerous variants of the basic CS with enhanced performance since 2019.

This book was released on 1998 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study utilized Illinois DOT (IDOT) mechanistic-empirical (M-E) technology and Mn/ROAD mainline pavement section data and information to verify/refine/modify IDOT M-E analysis and design concepts and procedures for full-depth asphalt concrete (FDAC) and conventional flexible pavements (CFP). The Mn/ROAD mainline flexible pavements include eleven CFP and three FDAC pavement sections. Four different granular materials were used in the conventional flexible pavements. A fine-grained soil subgrade (R-value of about 12) is present throughout the mainline. Laboratory material testing results, field distress measurements, and FWD test data were used to study pavement deflection response and performance (rutting and asphalt concrete fatigue). The study demonstrated that the IDOT M-E analysis and design procedures for FDAC and CFP sections are adequate. The ILLI-PA VE structural model adequately predicts the pavement responses. The use of bi-linear (arithmetic) subgrade model and the "theta" granular material model ILLI-PA VE inputs closely replicate CFP field FWD deflection responses. The effect of granular material quality on CFP deflection response is very limited. The ILLI-PAVE FWD backcalculation algorithms are adequate for estimating the moduli of asphalt concrete and sub grade soils.
