Permanent Deformation Monitoring and Remaining Life Prediction of Asphalt Pavement Combining Full-Scale Accelerated Pavement Testing and FEM

Full-Scale/Accelerated Pavement Testing: Current Status and Future Directions

Full-scale and accelerated pavement testing (FS/APT) began as early as 1909 with a test track in Detroit, as identified by Metcalf in NCHRP Synthesis of Highway Practice 235: Application of Full-Scale Accelerated Pavement Testing (1). Various other facilities have been developed and used worldwide to pursue this activity, defined in NCHRP Synthesis 235 as " the controlled application of a proto...

The prediction of pavement remaining life

The primary objective of the project was the development of criteria to define the end-of– life condition of pavements. These criteria could then be used in pavement performance modelling to obtain a more robust measure of remaining life. Another objective was the generation of a new model for maintenance costs. This could then be combined with the existing models for roughness and rutting to d...

Evaluation of Asphalt Pavement Interface

Full scale demonstration of air-purifying pavement.

Experiments concerning a full-scale demonstration of air purifying pavement in Hengelo, The Netherlands, are reported. The full width of the street was provided with concrete pavement containing TiO₂ over a length of 150 m ("DeNOx street"). Another part of the street, about 100 m, was paved with normal paving blocks ("Control street"). The outdoor monitoring was done during 26 days for a period...
