Preliminary Flexible Pavement Rehabilitation Design
The development of a knowledged-based expert system to assist ~he New Mex~co State Highway and Transportation Department m the evaluation and design of rehabilitation schemes for flexible pavements is described. The system uses information provided by users to establish preliminary rehabilitation schemes that would be reasonable and cost-effective. A cost-estimate module for ~anking th~ rehabil...
متن کاملFlexible Pavement Test Sections for Studying Pavement Design
It is a well-recognized fact that our pavement design procedures are inadequate in general and seriously lacking in many particulars. The fact that this statement can be applied on a county, state or national basis is little consolation to those in Indiana who must design and build pavements, for ever-changing traffic conditions, in such mileage and at such unit costs compared to the funds avai...
متن کاملRe-Evaluation of the AASHTO-Flexible Pavement Design Equation with Neural Network Modeling
Here we establish that equivalent single-axle loads values can be estimated using artificial neural networks without the complex design equality of American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO). More importantly, we find that the neural network model gives the coefficients to be able to obtain the actual load values using the AASHTO design values. Thus, those desig...
متن کاملSensitivity Analysis of Various Cost Elements in Flexible Pavement Design
This paper presents a method for predicting the optimum initial service life and optimum periods of resurfacing for flexible pavements. The method is based on consideration of total pavement costs including the cost of initial construction, routine maintenance and major maintenance and increased road user costs resulting from the maintenance operations. Standard economic analyses techniques wer...
متن کاملCalibration of Pavement ME Design and Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide Performance Prediction Models for Iowa Pavement Systems
The AASHTO Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide (MEPDG) pavement performance models and the associated AASHTOWare® Pavement ME Design software are nationally calibrated using design inputs and distress data largely from the national Long-Term Pavement Performance (LTPP). Further calibration and validation studies are necessary for local highway agencies’ implementation by taking into acc...
