This book was released on 1990 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This synthesis will be of interest to construction engineers, pavement designers, contractors, and others interested in construction of new highway pavements with smooth surfaces. Information is provided on the various devices and specifications that are being used to obtain smooth pavements. The public rates a pavement primarily on its smooth-riding characteristics and highway agencies recognize that constructing smooth pavements results in fewer problems later and lower annual maintenance costs. This report of the Transportation Research Board describes the devices and specifications highway agencies use to ensure that newly constructed pavements will provide a smooth ride.

Download or read book Pavement Smoothness Index Relationships written by Kelly L. Smith and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nearly all State highway agencies use smoothness specifications to ensure that hot-mix asphalt (HMA) and portland cement concrete (PCC) pavements are built to high levels of smoothness. About half of all current State smoothness specifications for HMA and more then three-fourths of all current PCC smoothness specifications are centered around the Profile Index (PI), as often measured using a profilograph. The vast majority of these specifications utilize a 5-mm (0.2-in.) blanking band in computing PI (i.e., PI5-mm). Assistance in selecting appropriate IRI and PI0.0 specification limits is needed to provide a basis for modifying current specifications to these more reproducible and portable smoothness indices. This research effort has developed a series of relationships between IRI and PI that can assist States in transitioning to IRI or PI0.0 smoothness specification for HMA and PCC pavements.

Download or read book Real time Smoothness Measurements on Portland Cement Concrete Pavements During Construction written by Robert Otto Rasmussen and published by Transportation Research Board. This book was released on 2013 with total page 143 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "TRB's second Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP 2) Report S2-R06E-RR-1: Real-Time Smoothness Measurements on Portland Cement Concrete Pavements During Construction explores real-time smoothness measuring technologies for concrete paving. For the purposes of the report, real-time smoothness refers to measuring and evaluating the concrete pavement surface profile during construction along the paving train while the concrete surface is still wet. The report also includes draft suggested specifications and guidelines related to the use of technologies that allow paving crews to measure smoothness in real time. The results of Renewal Project R06E will be incorporated into an electronic repository for practitioners, known as the NDToolbox, which will provide information regarding recommended technologies for the detection of a particular deterioration. The NDToolbox is in the process of being created by SHRP 2 Renewal Project R06A, which has released SHRP 2 Report S2-R06A-RR-1: Nondestructive Testing to Identify Concrete Bridge Deck Deterioration that identifies nondestructive testing technologies for detecting and characterizing common forms of deterioration in concrete bridge decks. Renewal Project R06E, which produced SHRP 2 Report S2-R06E-RR-1, is one of seven follow-on projects to SHRP Renewal Project R06 that produced SHRP 2 Report S2-R06-RW: A Plan for Developing High-Speed, Nondestructive Testing Procedures for Both Design Evaluation and Construction Inspection, which examines existing and emerging nondestructive evaluation (NDE) technologies and their current state of implementation to satisfy the NDE needs for highway renewal."--Publisher description.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This investigation was undertaken to determine the influence of airfield pavement surface roughness upon aircraft operations and to develop more realistic airfield pavement surface smoothness criteria for the construction of new airfield pavements based upon aircraft and aircraft crew operational requirements. Based upon a literature review of previous efforts in the area of pavement roughness, the human response criteria to whole body vibration were selected as the criteria for assessing the severity of aircraft response resulting from ground operations. Field tests were conducted using instrumented aircraft to measure the acceleration response of the aircraft at three locations within the fuselage during a series of ground operations. The profiles of the test site runways were also measured. The results of these tests provided a direct measure of the influence of a known runway surface on the response of the aircraft system and information for the verification of the computer code used during the subsequent analytical phase of the investigation. Aircraft response data were measured for both the B-52 and the boeing 727 aircraft.

Download or read book Control of Pavement Smoothness in Kansas written by William H. Parcells and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pavement smoothness is a major factor affecting the performance of the highway surface and the safety and satisfaction of the traveling public. Smooth pavement results in better gas mileage, less vehicle wear, and less driver stress and fatigue. Pavement smoothness is the single most important indicator of pavement condition as viewed by the traveling public. Many state highway agencies, including the Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT), have adopted specifications that set forth a goal of minimal levels of roughness for newly built pavements. Some specifications also include significant incentive/disincentive provisions to encourage contractors to concentrate their efforts on building smooth pavements. This report highlights the development of the smoothness specification for Portland Cement Concrete Pavement (PCCP) beginning in 1985 and for Asphalt Concrete Pavement (ACP) beginning in 1990. The early specifications used the 0.2 inch Blanking Band while evaluating the traces generated using the manual California type profilograph. In 1986, incentive/disincentive clauses allowed bonus payment for PCCP constructed with less than 4 in/mile of surface roughness and penalty (reduced payment) for over 12 in/mile using the 0.2 inch Blanking Band. The implementation of the smoothness specification resulted in dramatic improvement in PCCP smoothness. In 1990 the stage was set for change. The initial projects requiring the use of the profilograph with the 0.2 inch Blanking Band to measure smoothness of ACP provided a high percentage (64%) of bonus level sections thus indicating the need for a modification to the existing specification. Similarly, the PCCP projects built in 1990 also had a high percentage (63%) of bonus level sections while using the 0.2 inch Blanking Band. However, there was one PCCP reconstruction project that had achieved about 47% bonus sections but produced a high frequency vibration in the vehicle when driving at normal speed. A review of the original profilograph traces revealed a short length sine wave roughness that was slightly less than 0.2 inches in amplitude and thus was almost completely covered by the 0.2 inch Blanking Band.
