Book excerpt: This volume gathers the latest advances, innovations, and applications in the field of accelerated pavement testing (APT), presented at the 6th International Conference on Accelerated Pavement Testing, in Nantes, France, in April 2022. Discussing APT, which involves rapid testing of full-scale pavement constructions for structural deterioration, the book covers topics such as APT facilities, APT of asphalt concrete and sustainable/innovative materials, APT for airfield pavements, testing of maintenance and rehabilitation solutions, testing of smart and multi-functional pavements, data analysis and modeling, monitoring and non-destructive testing, and efficient means of calibrating/developing pavement design methods. Featuring peer-reviewed contributions by leading international researchers and engineers, the book is a timely and highly relevant resource for materials scientists and engineers interested in determining the performance of pavement structures during their service life (10+ years) in a few weeks or months.
Download or read book Guidelines for Evaluation of Asphalt overlaid Concrete Pavements written by Kathleen Theresa Hall and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report presents guidelines for selection of asphalt-overlaid concrete (AC/PCC) pavements for rehabilitation, collection of distress data, recognition of AC/PCC pavement distress modes, nondestructive deflection testing, materials sampling, and overall project-level evaluation. Key condition indicators (distress, rutting, roughness, serviceability, and CRS) were examined to address their usefulness in AC/PCC rehabilitation project selection. Critical levels for these indicators were identified, and available prediction models were investigated for use in rehabilitation programming. The project-level evaluation procedure includes guidelines for field and laboratory data collection and analysis for structural evaluation, functional evaluation, drainage evaluation, and AC surface material evaluation. A procedure was developed for backcalculation of AC/PCC pavement layer elastic moduli from deflection measurements, and guidelines were developed for practical interpretation of the backcalculation results. The recommended evaluation procedure relies on conventional testing and evaluation methods (visual surveying, deflection testing, coring, materials testing, etc.). New technologies (e.g., ground-penetrating radar, infrared thermography) are developing which have potential for use in pavement evaluation. These technologies are also reviewed in this report.

This book was released on 1989 with total page 18 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Multilayer solutions that calculate stresses, strains, and displacements in pavement structures caused by surface loading have been in existence for several years. However, most elastic layer computer software applications have been developed for mainframe computers. Recently, computational capabilities of the practicing engineer have been greatly enhanced by recent developments in personal computers. Results of this study involved development of an accurate and efficient solution to the multilayer problem. In addition, software was developed for use on a personal computer that included routines for backcalculating pavement layer moduli from measured surface deflections.

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.

Download or read book Pavement Response Analysis and Modulus Back calculation for Highway and Airfield Flexible Pavements written by Maoyun Li and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The analysis of pavement responses is important for better understanding of pavement performance and accurate estimation of pavement service life. This dissertation aims to study flexible pavement responses using forward and inverse analysis. The first objective is development of axisymmetric finite element (FE) models that can simulate FWD loading on the pavement system. After that, the backcalculation of pavement layer moduli from FWD testing was studied by means of soft computing techniques such as Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) and Genetic Algorithms (GA). The axisymmetric FE models were used to generate a synthetic database. The ANN-GA backcalculating program is developed to assess existing pavement condition after the training and verification using the synthetic database. The second objective of this dissertation is to investigate airfield flexible pavement responses under aircraft loading in consideration of the realistic aircraft tire-pavement interaction. An advanced three-dimensional (3-D) finite element (FE) model was developed to simulate heavy aircraft loading with high tire pressure. The aircraft loading was simulated as moving wheels having non-uniform contact stress distributions. Different tire rolling conditions caused by aircraft ground maneuvering were simulated, including free rolling, full-braking, and turning. The multi-wheel aircraft loading was modeled in two-wheel, four-wheel and six-wheel assembly. The analysis concludes that FWD deflections were affected by dynamic analysis, temperature gradient, bedrock depth, asphalt layer delamination, viscoelasticity, and unbound material nonlinearity. After validated with the field measurements in the long-term pavement performance program (LTPP) database, the developed ANN-GA program can be used to obtain damaged dynamic moduli of asphalt concrete and evaluate in-situ pavement conditions from structural point of view, which facilitates pavement overlay design procedure using Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guideline (MEPDG). The investigation on airfield flexible pavement emphasized the importance of considering non-uniform tire contact stresses and temperature profiles in airfield pavement analysis. For the aircraft ground maneuvering, aircraft braking or turning significantly increases shear failure potential in asphalt layer. The analysis of stress states would facilitate evaluation of the shear failure potential at airfield asphalt pavements. Finally, the investigation on multi-wheel aircraft loading indicates that the six-wheel gear configuration would cause more fatigue cracking and near-surface cracking potential than dual-wheel and four-wheel gears.

Download or read book Effect of Material Stress Sensitivity on Backcalculated Moduli and Pavement Evaluation written by NF. Coetzee and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 15 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Falling Weight Deflectometer (FWD) has become a popular device for evaluating both airfield and highway pavements. Typically, deflection tests with the FWD or HWD (Heavy Weight Deflectometer) are performed at predetermined load levels up to approximately 120 kN (27,000 Ibf) for the FWD and 240 kN (54,000 Ibf) for the HWD. This paper addresses the choice of load level for pavements exhibiting stress-sensitive behavior and the effect both on backcalculated moduli and the resulting rehabilitation designs for a number of pavement evaluation projects performed over the last few years.
