This book was released on 2011 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research evaluated the low temperature creep compliance and tensile strength properties of Wisconsin mixtures. Creep compliance and tensile strength data were collected for 16 Wisconsin mixtures representing commonly used aggregate sources and binder grades. Engineering and statistical analyses were performed on the data to provide recommendations for using measured mechanical properties in thermal cracking analyses with the Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide (MEPDG), and to evaluate the thermal fracture resistance of Wisconsin mixtures.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Second International Symposium on Constitutive Modeling of Geomaterials: Advances and New Applications (IS-Model 2012), is to be held in Beijing, China, during October 15-16, 2012. The symposium is organized by Tsinghua University, the International Association for Computer Methods and Advances in Geomechanics (IACMAG), the Committee of Numerical and Physical Modeling of Rock Mass, Chinese Society for Rock Mechanics and Engineering, and the Committee of Constitutive Relations and Strength Theory, China Institution of Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering, China Civil Engineering Society. This Symposium follows the first successful International Workshop on Constitutive Modeling held in Hong Kong, which was organized by Prof. JH Yin in 2007. Constitutive modeling of geomaterials has been an active research area for a long period of time. Different approaches have been used in the development of various constitutive models. A number of models have been implemented in the numerical analyses of geotechnical structures. The objective of the symposium is to provide a forum for researchers and engineers working or interested in the area of constitutive modeling to meet together and share new ideas, achievements and experiences through presentations and discussions. Emphasis is placed on recent advances of constitutive modeling and its applications in both theoretic and experimental aspects. Six famous scholars have been invited for the plenary speeches of the symposiums. Some prominent scholars have been invited to organize four specialized workshops on hot topics, including “Time-dependent stress-strain behavior of geomaterials”, “Constitutive modeling within critical state soil mechanics”, “Multiscale and multiphysics in geomaterials”, and “Damage to failure in rock structures”. A total of 49 papers are included in the above topics. In addition, 51 papers are grouped under three topics covering “Behaviour of geomaterials”, “Constitutive model”, and “Applications”. The editors expect that the book can be helpful as a reference to all those in the field of constitutive modeling of geomaterials.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the final report of the Part 1 (HMA Mixture Characterization) of the "Preparation for Implementation of the Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide in Michigan" project. The main objectives of the Part 1 were (i) to conduct a literature search to determine the existing and past research on HMA mixture characterization for M-E PDG, (ii) review MDOT's HMA testing program, and (iii) laboratory testing of samples collected. Scope of the literature review included the past and on-going research on HMA characterization as a preparation for the M-E PDG (or DARWin-ME) as well as predictive models for some of the key inputs such as the Complex (Dynamic) Modulus (/E*/) mastercurve. Several regression-based /E*/ models were evaluated and calibrated for local asphalt mixtures in Michigan. In addition, an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) model has been developed for better prediction of /E*/ from asphalt volumetrics. The research team reviewed the current HMA test data available as part of the MDOT testing program and compared it with the test data required by the M-E PDG. In addition, an extensive laboratory testing program was conducted to characterize asphalt mixtures commonly used in Michigan for the Complex (Dynamic) Modulus /E*/, Complex Shear Modulus (/G*/) of binders and Indirect Tension Strength (IDT) at low temperatures. A standalone software, called DYNAMOD, was developed to serve as a database for all the material testing performed in this project. The DYNAMOD will allow engineers to easily reach the material testing data and generate input files that can directly be imported by the M-E PDG (or DARWin-ME).
Download or read book Predicting Low temperature Cracking in Asphalt Pavements written by and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 2 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Wisconsin's winter climate, low temperatures can cause asphalt pavements to contract and crack, reducing their ride quality and service lives. To help engineers more accurately determine how well certain pavement designs will fare in such conditions, AASHTO has developed the Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide, or MEPDG. Pavement designers can use this manual and accompanying software to predict how pavement distresses will accumulate over time by inputting information about pavement materials, climate and expected traffic levels.

Download or read book Modeling and Design of Flexible Pavements and Materials written by Dallas N. Little and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-09-25 with total page 702 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This textbook lays out the state of the art for modeling of asphalt concrete as the major structural component of flexible pavements. The text adopts a pedagogy in which a scientific approach, based on materials science and continuum mechanics, predicts the performance of any configuration of flexible roadways subjected to cyclic loadings. The authors incorporate state-of the-art computational mechanics to predict the evolution of material properties, stresses and strains, and roadway deterioration. Designed specifically for both students and practitioners, the book presents fundamentally complex concepts in a clear and concise way that aids the roadway design community to assimilate the tools for designing sustainable roadways using both traditional and innovative technologies.
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.
