Plate Bearing Tests for Design of Flexible and Rigid Pavements

SYNOPSIS This paper presents the results of a study of pavement design based on the plate bearing list. The report supplements previous papers on pavement design, particularly the study reported in 1952 on the use of the triaxial test for design of flexible pavements. A series of tests was conducted on a test section of the Joint Highway Research Project Test Road. These tests were conducted by...

Effect of Concrete Strength and Stiffness Characterization on Predictions of Mechanistic–Empirical Performance for Rigid Pavements

An Experimental Study and Evaluation of Thermal Stresses in Rigid Pavements using FE Method

In the present investigation, an experimental study was conducted to evaluate the thermal stresses in rigid pavement. In pavements design, temperature differential is having dominant role across the depth at critical locations. Seasonal climate changes influences the characteristic of pavement track. The study influences the behavior of the pavement slab in a nonlinear manner. The critical stre...

Recycling Bituminous Pavements

This paper is a summary report on a research project entitled “An Investigation of Recycling Bituminous Pavements,” an HPR Research Project conducted by the JHRP staff at Purdue University. The research was performed by James L. McKinney, Graduate Instructor in Re­ search, under the direction of Professors Donn E. Hancher and Leonard E. Wood. Copies of the final report are available through the...
