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.

Download or read book Implementation of the Mechanistic empirical Pavement Design Guide in Utah written by Michael I. Darter and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Highway agencies across the nation are moving towards implementation of the new AASHTO Mechanistic- Empirical Pavement Design Guide (MEPDG) for pavement design. The objective of this project was to implement the MEPDG into the daily operations of the Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT). The implementation of the MEPDG as a UDOT standard required modifications in some UDOT pavement design protocols (i.e., lab testing procedures, equipment, and protocols, traffic data reporting, software issues, design output interpretation, and others). A key requirement is validation of the MEPDG's nationally calibrated pavement distress and smoothness prediction models when applied under Utah conditions and performing local calibration if needed. This was accomplished using data from Long Term Pavement Performance (LTPP) projects located in Utah and UDOT pavement management system (PMS) pavement sections. The nationally calibrated MEPDG models were evaluated. With the exception of the new hot-mix asphalt (HMA) pavement total rutting model, all other models were found to be reasonable. The rutting model was locally calibrated to increase goodness of fit and remove significant bias. Due to the nature of the data used in model validation, it is recommended that further MEPDG model validation be accomplished in the future using a database that contains HMA pavement and jointed plain concrete pavement (JPCP) exhibiting moderate to severe deterioration. This report represents Phase II of the UDOT MEPDG implementation study and builds on the Phase I study report completed in 2005 for UDOT. The Draft User's Guide for UDOT Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design (UDOT Research Report No. UT-09.11a, dated October 2009) incorporates the findings of this report as inputs and pavement design guidelines for Utah for use by UDOT's pavement design engineers during trial implementation of the MEPDG"--Technical report documentation p.

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 Concrete Pavement Design Construction and Performance written by Norbert Delatte and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2007-09-12 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Addressing the interactions between the different design and construction variables and techniques this book illustrates best practices for constructing economical, long life concrete pavements. The book proceeds in much the same way as a pavement construction project. First, different alternatives for concrete pavement solutions are outlined. The desired performance and behaviour parameters are identified. Next, appropriate materials are outlined and the most suitable concrete proportions determined. The design can be completed, and then the necessary construction steps for translating the design into a durable facility are carried out. Although the focus reflects highways as the most common application, special features of airport, industrial, and light duty pavements are also addressed. Use is made of modeling and performance tools such as HIPERPAV and LTPP to illustrate behavior and performance, along with some case studies. As concrete pavements are more complex than they seem, and the costs of mistakes or of over-design can be high, this is a valuable book for engineers in both the public and private sectors.
Download or read book Low Volume Road Engineering written by Robert A. Douglas and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2018-10-09 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Everything that sustains us – grown, mined, or drilled – begins its journey to us on a low-volume road (Long)." Defined as roads with traffic volumes of no more than 400 vehicles per day, they have enormous impacts on economies, communication, and social interaction. Low-volume roads comprise, at one end of the spectrum, farm-to-market roads, roads in developing countries, northern roads, roads on aboriginal lands and parklands; and at the other end of the spectrum, heavy haul roads for mining, oil and gas, oil sands extraction, and forestry. Low-Volume Road Engineering: Design, Construction, and Maintenance gives an international perspective to the engineering design of low-volume roads and their construction and maintenance. It is a single reference drawing from the dispersed literature. It lays out the basic principles of each topic, from road location and geometric design, pavement design, slope stability and erosion control, through construction to maintenance, then refers the reader to more comprehensive treatment elsewhere. Wherever possible, comparisons are made between the standard specifications and practices existing in the US, Canada, the UK, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. Topics covered include the following: Road classification, location, and geometric design Pavement concepts, materials, and thickness design Drainage, erosion and sediment control, and watercrossings Slope stability Geosynthetics Road construction, maintenance, and maintenance management Low-Volume Road Engineering: Design, Construction, and Maintenance i s a valuable reference for engineers, planners, designers and project managers in consulting firms, contracting firms and NGOs. It also is an essential reference in support of university courses on transportation engineering and planning, and on mining, oil and gas, and forestry infrastructure.
