This paper focuses on comprehensive sensitivity analyses of various rigid pavement scenarios. Jointed Plain Concrete Pavement ( JPCP) sections designed for three traffic levels in each of five climate zones are evaluated in the sensitivity analyses. One-at-a-time (OAT) local sensitivity analysis was implemented using a design limit normalized sensitivity index (NSI) to provide both quantitative...
Long term monitoring of pavement requires a cost effective and sustainable power supply strategy. We developed an energy harvest system that can be installed in the pavement structure. The system can harvest energy from the temperature difference between the pavement surface and the subgrade soil using thermoelectric modules. In this paper, through computer-aided simulations, we come up with an...
The resilient modulus (MR) of unbound materials is a required input in most of the mechanistic-based pavement analysis and design process and has a significant effect on the projected pavement performance in the mechanistic– empirical pavement design guide programme or AASHTOWare DARwin. The Iowa Department of Transportation (DOT) recently acquired a servo-hydraulic dynamic loading materials te...
A novel approach to life-cycle sustainability (impact) assessment and interpretation procedure on the basis of multiple criteria is developed in this paper for the comparison and evaluation of alternative road pavement designs. A case study reported in the literature, which compared pavement structures with virgin materials as well as industrial by-products such as coal ash, crushed concrete wa...
The new AASHTO Mechanistic–Empirical Pavement Design Guide (MEPDG) provides pavement analysis and performance predictions for various feasible design scenarios. The MEPDG performance predictions for the anticipated climatic and traffic conditions depends on the values of the input parameters that characterize the pavement materials, layers, design features, and condition. This paper focuses on ...
This paper presents a sidewalk pavement width design method for making more pedestrian friendly and walk-inspiring sidewalk pavements in the urban area. Instead of using the current sidewalk pavement width design standard that usually leads to having minimum values, this research investigated pedestrians’ preferences on the levels of service, surveyed actual foot path trajectories in the sidewa...
Pavements are constructed to deteriorate because of many factors such as traffic loading, material related factors, climate, and other environmental factors. In order to preserve these investments, a maintenance program should be carried out at right time and right places. One of the most important maintenance activities is asphalt overlays. Designing an overlay is more challenging since it res...
Pavement surface deflection of a highway is a primary factor for evaluating the pavement strength of a flexible pavement. Benkelman Beam Deflection (BBD) technique is widely used in the country for evaluating the structural capacity of an existing flexible pavement as also for estimation and design of overlays for strengthening of a weak pavement. The field test for measuring the surface deflec...
Recently developed Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide (MEPDG) determines the probable total rutting by summing up the deformations of all layers of the trial pavement. If all distresses outcomes including rutting are within the specification the trial section is designed for construction. Therefore, vertical deformation (or strain) needs to be measured to validate the MEPDG for local c...
