Dynamic Loading of Soil-Cement for Flexible Pavement Design
Stabilised soil-cement has been used in road pavements for considerable time. Certain design criteria concerning the properties of the material have been established. However, there is little knowledge of the material's behaviour under dynamic loading conditions simulating traffic loads. The aim of …

Pedologic Based Subgrade Characterization for Low-Volume Pavement Design
Subgrade soils play an integral part in pavement performance. The nature and properties of subgrade soils must be considered in structural pavement design. Many highway agencies, particularly agencies that administer "local" or low-volume pavements, do not have the resources to conduct …

Asphalt Perpetual Pavement Design: Utilizing Existing Pavement Systems in Ohio
This thesis explores asphalt perpetual pavement concepts by investigating existing asphalt concrete (AC) pavements in Ohio. In 2010, twenty AC pavement sites were selected as candidates for a forensic investigation in Ohio. Field distress surveys, coring, Falling Weight Deflectometer (FWD), Seismic …

Risk Analysis and Reliability Improvement of Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design
<p>Reliability used in the Mechanistic Empirical Pavement Design Guide (MEPDG) is a congregated indicator defined as the probability that each of the key distress types and smoothness will be less than a selected critical level over the design period. For such a complex system as the MEPDG which …

Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Procedure For Geosynthetically Stabilized Flexible Pavements
In June 1994, a 150-m-long secondary road pavement section was built as part of the realignment of route 616 and 757 in Bedford County, Virginia to evaluate the performance of geosynthetically stabilized flexible pavements. The California Bearing Ratio (CBR) of the subgrade after construction was …

Performance of Silty Sands and their Use in Flexible Airfield Pavement Design
Traditionally, flexible pavement design relies on past experience and semi-empirical methods developed through a combination of element testing and modelling. Element testing in this area especially, has centred on the performance of clean sands. This is in conflict with actual practice where a …

Characterization of High Porosity Drainage Layer Materials for M-E Pavement Design
… as level 1 input in Mechanistic-Empirical (M-E) pavement design. The measured dynamic moduli have been used to calibrate the original NCHRP 1-37A model to facilitate its application on drainage layer materials for prediction of the dynamic modulus as level 2 input. The compressive strength of the …

Evaluation of asphalt stabilized layer equivalency factors for use in airfield flexible pavement design
A California Bearing Ratio (CBR) design method has been used for Air Force airfield pavement design since the late 1920s. The procedures, calculations, and related nomographs have been updated to reflect developments in the pavement design, pavement analysis, and unique landing gear configurations …
