Abstract:

Road maintenance planning, an essential component of road asset management, preserves the integrity of road networks. Current state of the art pavement management systems exercise optimisation tools, pavement deterioration models, and intervention criteria to forecast the future maintenance requirements of a road network. However, using this current approach to pavement management, uncertainties associated with the failure of individual road sections may not always be accounted for explicitly, and therefore the susceptibility of a road network to failure is unknown. Predicting the probability

Abstract:

The target of the ‘Green Overlays’ research was a cost effective, minimal disruption, sustainable and environmentally friendly alternative to the wholesale demolition, removal and complete reconstruction of the existing structural concrete pavement. The important problem of flexural resistance for strengthening concrete pavements with structural overlays has been scrutinised. A new mix design method for steel fibre reinforced, roller compacted, polymer modified, bonded concrete overlay has been proposed. The mixes developed were characterized of high flexural strength and high bond strength wi

Abstract:

The large majority of New Zealand's road network is constructed from thin surfaced unbound flexible pavements where a granular layer provides the main structural strength of the pavement. The current New Zealand empirical design theory states that permanent deformation should largely be attributed to the subgrade and that shape loss in the granular layers is simply a consequence of a previously deformed subgrade. However, recent research and field trials have indicated that basecourse shear strains may be a large contributor to rutting in unbound granular layers. The purpose of this investigat

Abstract:

Increasing popularity of offsite modular construction has increased demand for transportation of very large (1000-3000 tonne) indivisible loads. Crossing poor soils presents a serious risk of ground failure, particularly as larger vehicles’ greater influence depths produce a very different soil response to conventional vehicles. Temporary haul roads designed conventionally may be excessively conservative and unaffordable as a temporary asset; cost reduction through observational risk management is sought. This thesis experimentally investigates soft silt and clay soils through cyclic triaxial

Abstract:

Adequate interfacial bond performance of Bonded Concrete Overlay (BCO) systems requires novel integration of material mixture design, compatibility model development, and interfacial bond design. This entails the use of the right materials, on the right substrate, in the right way, in order to secure the best possible composite behaviour. The overall composite performance of BCOs depends largely on achieving the right proportion of blend for the overlay material. The use of mixture experiments provides a flexible, easy, and quick way of optimizing multi-component materials of this nature. This

Abstract:

The study focuses on the issue of hot mix asphalt pothole repairs, the performance of which is greatly reduced by repair edge disintegration. This is caused by low interface temperatures which result in low density interfaces and poor repair bonding. The study examined heat flow in shallow and deep pothole excavations under controlled pre-heating done in heating-cooling cycles, referred as "dynamic heating", and the effect of asphalt thermal properties on this. Dynamic heating was applied with an experimental infrared heater operating between 6.6 kW and 7.7 kW heat power and with the heater be

The latter have been widely used by several countries as their preferred wearing course over other methods, especially countries with a limited number of average inhabitants per square kilometre. Moreover, the surfacing seals were identified as an efficient cost effective road preventive maintenance technique. Surfacing seals in New Zealand, South Africa and Australia cover about 65%, 80% and 90% of their surfaced road n

Abstract:

The volumetric strains induced in the subgrade of a pavement or light foundation by the swelling and shrinking of expansive soils routinely cause distress, and ultimately failure of the structure. Additionally, shallow embankment slope failures have also been shown to cause damage to pavements throughout Central Texas. As such, the main objective of this project was to correlate observed field pavement distresses, attributed to expansive soil movement, to results obtained from laboratory forced ventilated swell-shrink tests. Additionally, the author wished to analyze if edge distresses could

Abstract:

Pavement damage due to heavy loads on thaw weakened flexible pavements is a major concern for road agencies in Western Canada. To protect weaker, low volume roads, agencies impose spring weight restrictions (SWR) during the spring thaw to reduce pavement damage. While SWR may be cost effective for highway agencies, reducing the spring weight allowances can have a major impact on truck productivity and shipping costs. Therefore an improved process that links SWR loads to pavement damage, and based on limiting failure strain, is required. This thesis developed Local mechanistic-emp
