Abstract:

Many highway agencies are transitioning from the 1993 AASHTO pavement design guide to the AASHTOWare Pavement ME Design (PMED). Pavement performance models embedded in the PMED software need to be calibrated for new and reconstructed hot-mix asphalt (HMA) pavements. Twenty-seven newly constructed HMA pavements were used to calibrate the prediction models—twenty-one for calibration and six for validation. Local calibration for permanent deformation, top-down fatigue cracking, and the International Roughness Index (IRI) models was done using the traditional split-sample method. Comparison with t

Abstract:

Porous asphalt pavements allow designers to introduce more sustainability into projects and lessen their environmental impact. Current design procedures are based primarily on hydrologic considerations; comparatively little attention has been paid to their structural design aspects. As their use grows, a design procedure and representative material structural properties are needed to ensure that porous pavements do not deteriorate excessively under traffic loads. The objective of this project was to develop a simple, easy to apply design procedure for the structural design of porous asphalt pa

Abstract:

Pavement thickness design traditionally has been based on empiricism. However, mechanistic-empirical (M-E) design procedures are becoming more prevalent, and there is a current effort by AASHTO to establish a nationwide M-E standard design practice. Concurrently, an M-E design procedure for flexible pavements tailored to conditions within Minnesota has been developed and is being implemented. Regardless of the design procedure type, inherent variability associated with the design input parameters will produce variable pavement performance predictions. Consequently, for a complete design proced

Abstract:

A good pavement management system should have the capacity to predict pavement structural and functional deterioration versus age or accumulated traffic loading. Basically, there are two types of performance prediction models in pavement management: deterministic and probabilistic. Although both performance models can be used to predict pavement deterioration, the inherent relationship between the two models has not been explored. An investigation was directed to find the relationship in terms of system conversion. Some of the findings related to system conversion, including the concepts and t

Abstract:

One of the Indiana Department of Transportation's (INDOT's) strategic goals is to improve its pavement design procedures. This goal can be accomplished by fully implementing the 2002 mechanistic–empirical (M-E) pavement design guide (M-E PDG) once it is approved by AASHTO. The release of the M-E PDG software has provided a unique opportunity for INDOT engineers to evaluate, calibrate, and validate the new M-E design process.

Abstract:

The reliability concept provides a means of incorporating some degree of certainty into the pavement design process to ensure that the outcomes of the process will provide acceptable levels of service until the end of the intended design life. Pavement structural performance and rehabilitation design are highly dependent on the in situ layer properties. Pavement layer thickness is an essential input in backcalculation analysis performed with measured surface deflections to evaluate the in situ structural capacity of a pavement. Inaccurate thickness information may lead to significant errors in

Abstract:

Cold in-place recycling (CIR) of asphalt pavements is a process that has successfully been used for many years. The use of CIR for rehabilitation offers many advantages over traditional overlays due to its excellent resistance to reflective cracking and its environmentally friendly impacts. Despite the good performance and positive sustainability aspects of CIR, the structural contribution of the CIR base layer has not been well defined. In this research, CIR mixtures were designed with different asphalt emulsions. The mixtures were then subjected to dynamic modulus, repeated load triaxial, an

Florida Department of Transportation uses the 1993 AASHTO guide to conduct new and rehabilitation designs for all the state’s flexible pavements. Based on previous experience, a structural layer coefficient of 0.44 was found to be well representative of the department’s conventional polymer-modified (PMA) asphalt concrete (AC) mixtures. If the positive impact of the polymer on the layer is assumed to be maintained at higher contents, then the use of high polymer-modified (HP) asphalt binder may lead to a higher AC structural layer coefficient and a reduced AC layer thickness for the same desig

Abstract:

Pavement design is the process of calculation the thickness of pavement layers which can withstand the expected traffic load over the design life without deteriorating. In another word, it is providing a pavement structure in which stresses on the subgrade are reduced to the acceptable magnitude. Highways in Sudan deteriorate in the first years of construction due to many reasons including the deficiency in pavement design. This research aims to minimize the probability of roads failure by selecting the appropriate pavement design method for Sudan based on the performance evaluation of each me

A methodology was developed to incorporate the structural contribution of working platforms, including those constructed with industrial byproducts, into the design of flexible pavements. Structural contribution of the working platform was quantified with the 1993 AASHTO flexible pavement design guide in terms of a structural number or an effective roadbed modulus. Two methods are proposed. One method treats the working platform as a subbase layer and assigns a structural number to the working platform for use in computing the overall structural number of the pavement.

Abstract:

In AASHTO's 2002 design guide, the classic fatigue cracking mechanism, which normally initiates at the bottom of the asphalt layer and propagates to the surface (bottom-up cracking), was studied. The prediction of bottom-up alligator fatigue cracking was based on a mechanistic approach to calculate stress and strain. An empirical approach then related these strains to fatigue damage in pavement caused by traffic loads. To provide credibility to the new design procedure, the theoretically predicted distress models must be calibrated to “real-world” performance. In fact, calibration of these dis
