Mechanistic Analysis of in-Service Airfield Concrete Pavement Responses
The effect of temperature curling on pavement responses was analyzed. A theoretical analysis of the effect of pavement temperature distribution on total and load-induced responses is presented and complemented with Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). The analysis of in-situ interface condition was based on multi-sensor readings and comparison between theoretical and measured data. The existence of gaps beneath the slab and the interface condition were evaluated based on Multi-Depth Deflectometers (MDDs) and paired strain gage data, respectively. Two interface conditions (bonded and unbonded) were compared to measured responses allowing for estimating in-situ interface condition.
