Abstract:

In this paper, the accuracy of ground-penetrating radar (GPR) for estimating pavement layer thicknesses is studied on the basis of the investigation of 17 pavement sites in Virginia. The considered sites have different types of pavement systems (flexible, continuously reinforced, jointed concretes, and composite) and different ages (0 to 5 years; 10 to 15 years; older than 20 years with a surface less than 10 years; and older than 20 years with a surface older than 10 years). Because of the diversity of the test sections considered, the accuracy of the GPR thicknesses was studied for pavement

Abstract:

Pavement condition assessment is one of the important components of pavement management system. Pavement maintenance strategy is decided on the basis of this assessment. There are various factors for pavement condition assessment like cracking, rutting, deflection, raveling, potholes etc. In this study, cracks are considered for rating of pavements as they are one of the important factors of pavement assessment. Longitudinal, transverse, fatigue and block cracking is considered for the study as they are frequently occurs in the flexible pavements. The said cracks are detected for selected road

Abstract:

Pavements are the vital part of any highway system. Due to harsh climatic conditions and premature distresses, pavements are falling apart in initial years of construction, even though they are designed for 15-20 years. Furthermore, pavements frequently fail prematurely due to poor quality control during construction, high axle loads, extreme weather conditions, and insufficient maintenance funding. Understanding the deterioration pattern of the flexible pavement is necessary to take the decision for strengthening the pavement. Premature failures like rutting and fatigue in flexible pavement c

Road pavement is a layer structure located above the subgrade, there is a layer of upper foundation and sub-base which each layer consists of compacted aggregates which have a function to transmit stress due to wheel load. There are 3 road pavements, asphalt or flexible pavement, concrete/ rigid pavement (rigid pavement) and composite pavement (Composit pavement). In determining pavement thickness there are several methods to use, including in this study using the 1993 AASHTO method for flexible pavements and the 2017 Road Pavement Manual method (Bina Marga 2017) for rigid pavements.

Abstract The problem of dimensioning pavements requires knowledge of the assumptions and calculation schemes underlying the assessment of deformations of pavements under traffic pressure. The aim of this paper is to study the influence of both the values chosen for the dynamics module of asphalt courses in the pavement and the elastic composition of the pavement using three bituminous layers (wearing, binder, base), or two bituminous layers (wear, binder/base). In the first part of the paper a general description of pavements is presented. Roads are also described, starting from Roman roads to

Abstract:

Rutting is a major distress in airport flexible pavements. Subgrade vertical strain criteria are used in many airport flexible pavement design procedures to consider the development of rutting. Several research studies have identified the limitations associated with these criteria. Design criteria based on subgrade stress ratios (SSRs) are being considered for evaluating subgrade rutting in airport flexible pavements. In this paper, the SSRs based on measured vertical subgrade stresses are related to surface rutting in flexible pavements subjected to repeated trafficking of Boeing 777 and 747

Abstract:

Pavements are important for traffic to operate swiftly, safely, and seamlessly. Pavements can be classified as flexible or rigid in general. Flexible pavements have a low flexural strength and a flexible structural reaction. Stiff pavements can be distinguished by their stiffness and flexural strength. Rapid advancements in car technology have resulted in huge moving loads on pre-existing routes in an effort to reduce transportation costs. Existing roads, which were built on general principles, are unable to handle significant wheel loads, resulting in road degradation. Designing a pavement is

This present study deals with the design thickness of flexible pavements, where majority of the Indian roads are flexible pavements having bituminous layer. Earlier, due to the scarcity of cement and India went for flexible pavements with bituminous toppings. This flexible pavement is preferred over cement concrete roads as they have a great advantage that these can be strengthened and improved in stages with the growth of traffic.

For rigid pavements and bridge decks, GPR is used to measure the thickness of the concrete slab and detect the location of reinforcing bars (rebar). Rebar detection is typically achieved, in this case, when an experienced operator finds the rebar's classic parabolic signature in the GP

Abstract:

A set of deterioration models is required to manage local government authority (LGA) pavements in a cost-effective manner; yet, most existing deterioration models have been derived for the major highways of the State Road Authority system. LGA pavements are different in terms of pavement life, the effect of the environment, loading, and expectations of performance with respect to riding quality. There is a greater emphasis on sustained light routine maintenance in LGAs. There is a need to develop models that more closely represent LGA pavements so they can be used to forecast the deterioration

Abstract:

It is known to researchers in the field of road construction and development. Three types of pavement are rigid, flexible, and composite paving. The composite pavement consists of a layer of flexible pavement on top of which a layer of rigid pavement is placed or vice versa. All of these types have advantages in addition to disadvantages that affect road performance on the one hand and user convenience on the other. About 50 years ago, work began establishing a type of pavement characterized by its semi-flexible performance, which combines rigid pavement's rigidity and flexible pavement's flex

The evaluation of remaining life is necessary to make optimal use of the structural capacity of in-service pavements. It simply represents the useful life left in the pavement until a failure condition is reached. Knowledge of remaining life facilitates decision making in regard to strategies for reconstruction-rehabilitation of roads, thereby leading to the efficient use of existing resources. Several methods proposed or used by various agencies to estimate the remaining lives of pavements are reviewed. They are classified under two categories: functional and structural.

Abstract:

In traditional analyses of flexible pavements the linear elastic material behavior is assumed for pavement materials. However, pavement materials do not behave as linear elastic materials. They can be better modeled by using elasto-plastic constitutive relationships. The consequences of the assumption of linear elasticity in the prediction of the behavior of geosynthetic-reinforced flexible pavements are presented. The effect of the stiffness of geosynthetic reinforcements on pavement behavior is also studied. The behavior of a geosynthetic-reinforced flexible pavement is analyzed by the finit

Pouring semi-flexible pavement material (PSFM) is widely used as a wearing layer material or below pavement due to its excellent resistance to deformation at high temperatures and under heavy loads. However, in cold regions, the material exhibits severe cracking issues. The primary objective of this study is to enhance the resistance of pouring semi-flexible pavements (SFPs) to low-temperature cracking in cold regions by strategically designing pavement structures that incorporate PSFM. To achieve this goal, we conducted indoor tests to determine the relaxation modulus and temperature shrinkag

Pavement cracks are usually sealed to prevent water from entering base course layers. Experience suggests that water in pavement layers hastens pavement deterioration and, therefore, increases rehabilitation costs. Initially the Ministry of Transportation, Ontario (MTO), Canada, had limited success in sealing cracks because inappropriate materials and installation procedures were used. This setback during the initial stages of development in crack sealing raised questions about the effectiveness of crack sealing in reducing the rate of pavement deterioration. In the 1970s and 1980s MTO carried
