This book was released on 2011 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The proper understanding of tire-pavement interaction is important for the accurate analysis of load-induced stresses and strains in the pavement structure. This dissertation focuses on the analysis of the mechanism of tire-pavement interaction and the effect of tire-pavement interaction on pavement responses using a decoupled modeling approach. First, an air-inflated three-dimensional (3-D) finite element (FE) tire model was built and the interaction between a tire and a non-deformable pavement surface was simulated. The tire is modeled as a composite structure including rubber and reinforcement. The steady-state tire rolling process was simulated using an Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian (ALE) formulation. The developed tire-pavement interaction model is used to evaluate the mechanism of load distribution at the tire-pavement interface under various tire loading and rolling conditions. After that, a 3-D FE model of flexible pavement was developed to analyze pavement responses under various loading scenarios. This model utilizes the implicit dynamic analysis, simulates vehicular loading as a continuous moving load, and incorporates 3-D contact stresses at the tire-pavement interface. In the pavement model, the asphalt layer is modeled as a linear viscoelastic material and the granular base layer is modeled as a nonlinear anisotropic material. The FE pavement model was used to analyze critical pavement responses in thin and thick asphalt pavements considering different damage mechanisms. This dissertation concludes that knowledge of tire-pavement contact stress distributions is critical for pavement response prediction. Most importantly, the non-uniform distribution of vertical contact stresses and the localized tangential contact stresses should be considered in the mechanistic-empirical pavement design. The contact stress distributions at the tire-pavement interface are affected by vehicle loading (wheel load and tire inflation pressure), tire configuration (dual-tire assembly and wide-base tire), vehicle maneuvering (braking/acceleration and cornering), and pavement surface friction. Therefore, pavement damage should be quantified using accurate loading inputs that are represented by realistic tire-pavement contact stress distributions. Thin and thick asphalt pavements fail in different ways. Multiple distress modes could occur in thin asphalt pavements, including bottom-up fatigue cracking and rutting in each pavement layer. It was found that the interaction between the viscoelastic asphalt layer and the nonlinear anisotropic granular base layer plays an important role for the stress distribution within a thin asphalt pavement structure under moving vehicular loading. In thick asphalt pavements, near-surface cracking is a critical failure mechanism, which is affected by the localized stress states and pavement structure characteristics. Particularly, the effect of shear stress on the formation of near-surface cracking at multi-axial stress states is important and can not be neglected, especially at high temperatures.

Previous studies demonstrated that the number of crashes is reduced if pavements have sufficient friction, especially in wet conditions. Adequate pavement friction prevents the vehicle from sliding on the pavement surface and provides the grip needed to maintain control over the vehicle. The first phase of this study investigated experimentally the two major friction mechanisms (i.e., adhesion and hysteresis) that contribute to tire-pavement friction. It is postulated that the adhesion between rubber tires and pavements is highly influenced by the surface free energy. However, there are no previous studies carried out to investigate the adhesion between rubber tires and pavements using the surface free energy. The results demonstrated that adhesion friction can be quantified by measuring the surface free energy components of pavement surface aggregates and rubber materials. There was a fair correlation between the adhesive bond energy and the measured coefficient of friction. Higher adhesion between rubber materials and pavement surface provided higher friction. These results provide a fundamental understanding of the mechanisms of rubber-pavement friction and verification of the relationship between adhesion and friction. In addition, there was a strong correlation between friction and rubber rheological properties. Rubber materials with lower modulus provided higher friction compared to those with higher modulus. These results explain the change in skid resistance with temperature throughout the year. The second phase of this study examined different factors that affect skid resistance of pavement surfaces. These parameters included macrotexture, microtexture, and driving speed. The macrotexture of the pavement is related to aggregate gradation of the mix or surface texture pattern. The microtexture is influenced by the roughness of the aggregate particles and their resistance to abrasion and polishing under traffic. This study proposed a new model that can be used to estimate the skid number at a given speed between 20 mph and 60 mph as a function of both macrotexture and microtexture of pavement surface. This model was developed based on the measured frictional characteristics of field test sections. The proposed model can be used if the full-scale friction tester is not available or cannot be used due to the limited length of the test section (e.g., bridge deck). In addition, the model provides a tool to the pavement engineers to ensure adequate skid resistance at various operation speeds during the mix design stage and before the mix is used in the field. A given mix design can be modified to improve its frictional characteristics at early stage which leads to cost savings often spent on the application of surface treatments. The third phase of this study utilized the close-range photogrammetry (CRP) technique to measure the pavement macrotexture and microtexture. Texture parameters were calculated from the collected and analyzed images of the pavement surface. The results of the CRP texture measurements were compared to standard test methods. The CRP texture measurements had excellent correlation with the standard methods; however, the CRP offers simple and accurate, yet inexpensive alternative to the current methods used to measure surface macrotexture and microtexture. In addition, the CRP texture parameters were incorporated in the Persson friction model to predict skid friction as a function of rubber properties. The results demonstrated excellent correlation between measured and predicted friction. This study greatly simplified the texture parameter calculations needed in the Persson friction model with good accuracy.The last component of this study developed a 3D finite element model to investigate the effect of surface characteristics along with rubber properties on the contact stress between the standard skid test tire and pavement surface. Such simulation provides an in-depth understanding of tire-pavement interaction that would require expensive resources to examine in the field. Study parameters included various coefficient of friction, texture (e.g., smooth, and grooved), tire rolling conditions (fully skidding and free rolling) as well as temperature. The developed 3D FE model of the test tire was first validated with laboratory measurements before it was used to examine the effect of the study parameters on tire-pavement contact stresses. The results of the finite element simulations demonstrated that the stress distribution at the tire-pavement interface is non-uniform with maximum values towards the edges of the tire. These findings were consistent with the wearing pattern of the test tire in the field. In addition, the results also demonstrated that the shear stresses increased with surface friction while there was no significant change in the vertical stresses. The grooved surface exhibited higher vertical and shear stresses compared to pavement with smooth texture. The grooved texture is used to improve skid resistance and reduce the noise of pavement surfaces. In addition, temperature was found to have significant impact on the stresses at the tire-pavement interface. The finite element simulation results agreed with the laboratory and field measurements of pavement friction.
