Mechanistic-Empirical Analysis of Asphalt Dynamic Modulus for Rehabilitation Projects in Iran
In the Mechanistic–Empirical Pavement Design Guide (MEPDG), dynamic modulus of asphalt mixes is used as one of the input parameters in pavement analysis and design. For in-service pavements, MEPDG method uses a combination of some field and laboratory tests for structural evaluation of asphalt layers in rehabilitation projects. In this study, ten new and rehabilitated in-service asphalt pavemen...
متن کاملA finite element based backcalculation program for flexible pavements
In recent years pavement maintenance planning has become a main task among highway agencies. In order to determine the structural capacity of a flexible pavement, non-destructive testing equipment is used. Many countries use the falling weight deflectometer (FWD). It is possible to obtain deflection data and backcalculate the pavements’ mechanical properties. However, the method used affects th...
متن کاملArtificial Neural Network Based Backcalculation of Conventional Flexible Pavements on Lime Stabilized Soils
Conventional flexible pavements built on lime stabilized soils (CFP-LSS) were studied for the backcalculation of pavement layer moduli from nondestructive Falling Weight Deflectometer (FWD) testing. The validated ILLI-PAVE finite element program was used in pavement structural analyses by taking into account the effects of nonlinear layer modulus behavior, i.e., stress hardening for granular ma...
متن کاملStructural Deterioration of Ac Pavements with and without Steel Reinforcement. in Field Experimental Comparison
The paper focuses on the monitoring of an experimental stretch of road over a five year period in order to measure the effects of steel reinforcement on Asphalt Concrete (AC) pavement performance. The experimental stretch of road was constructed in 2001 alternating sections with and without steel reinforcement. This paper presents the results regarding the effects of steel reinforcement that we...
متن کاملArtificial Neural Network Application for Flexible Pavement Thickness Modeling
Flexible pavements are affected by moving vehicles, climate and other environmental factors. As a result of these factors, the pavement starts to deteriorate. In order to prevent further deterioration, a maintenance program should be carried out at right time and right places. For the determination of the structural carrying capacity of the pavement, non-destructive testing equipments are used....
