RISPITTRIGID ME: Simplified Mechanistic-Empirical Design Tool for Pennsylvania Rigid Pavements Design and Analysis
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: To accelerate the implementation of the AASHTO Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide (MEPDG) in Pennsylvania and take advantage of locally calibrated mechanistic-empirical models for pavement performance and design, ...
Evaluation of Concrete Pavement Performance Model Considering Inherent Bias in Performance Data
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Concrete pavement performance models are evaluated, calibrated, and validated using field data from databases like the Long-Term Pavement Program. Conceptually, performance model predictions should match field data considering ...
General Formulation for Multilayered Pavement Systems
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A formulation for the analysis of a general multilayered pavement system is developed in a manner analogous to that followed for conventional asphalt concrete pavements. The Burmister analytical solution is expanded to the ...
Nonlinear Temperature Effects on Multilayered Concrete Pavements
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study considers a plate consisting of one or more layers, resting on a general elastic foundation, and subjected to a nonlinear through-the-thickness temperature distribution, together with arbitrary wheel loads. The ...
Unified Mechanistic Approach for Modeling Tests of Unbound Pavement Materials
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Several tests are used for the characterization of unbound materials for pavement applications. The resilient modulus has been one of the most common tests for design specification of unbound materials. The California ...
Parameter Identification Procedure for Heterogeneous Viscoelastic Composites Using Iterative Functions
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents a new numerical procedure for the determination of the viscoelastic compliance properties of a matrix phase from a simple three-point bending test on a composite beam. The composite is modeled as elastic ...
Location and Depth of Pervious Concrete Clogging Material before and after Void Maintenance with Common Municipal Utility Vehicles
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In practice, it has been observed that the method of pervious concrete void maintenance depends on which machines or vehicles the owners have available. This research compares the abilities of three common municipal utility ...
Overview of the First Ten Years of the Minnesota Road Research Project
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The Minnesota Department of Transportation began construction on the Minnesota Road Research Project (MnROAD) in 1991 and opened the full-scale pavement research facility to live traffic in 1994. Since the time of its ...
Impact of Joint Spacing on Bonded Concrete Overlay of Existing Asphalt Pavement in the AASHTOWare Pavement ME Design Software
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper describes the impact of joint spacing or panel size on the performance and relative cost of short jointed bonded concrete overlay of asphalt (SJPCP) pavement using the AASHTO Pavement ME Design procedure. Joint ...
