While there is significant field evidence of the benefits of geosynthetic-reinforced asphalt overlays, their use has focused on minimizing the development of reflective cracks. Yet, geogrids in asphalt overlays are also expected to develop reinforcement mechanisms that contribute to the pavement structural capacity. Specifically, the use of geosynthetics in asphalt overlays may also improve the mechanical behavior of paved roads by controlling permanent displacements and reducing strains in the pavement layers. While relevant advances have been made towards identifying the mechanisms in geosynthetic stabilization of base courses, such mechanisms may differ from those that develop in geosynthetic-reinforced asphalt overlays. This paper investigates the development and distribution of tensile strains along geogrids used to reinforce asphaltic layers. Experimental data was collected from large-scale paved road models subjected to the repeated loading imparted by wheel traffic. Specifically, the study examines both the elastic and permanent components of displacements induced in geogrids by using mechanical extensometers attached to the geogrids. The testing program includes a number of geosynthetic-reinforced paved road models, as well as a control (unreinforced) section that was also instrumented for comparison purposes. Asphalt strain gauges were used to measure strains within the asphalt concrete layer, providing an additional source of information that proved to be highly consistent with the results obtained from the extensometers. The experimental results showed a progressive mobilization of permanent geogrid strains that reached a final profile beyond which additional traffic loading did not result in additional straining. In comparison, higher strains developed in the unreinforced model, which showed a continuously increasing trend. Elastic tensile strains in the asphalt mixture and rutting under the wheel load were comparatively smaller when using geogrids. Overall, the results generated in this study indicate that the presence of geogrids in asphalt overlays results in a lateral restraining mechanism that influences on the mechanical behavior of flexible pavements. 相似文献

Reflective cracking is a major cause for premature deterioration of asphalt pavements. Different varieties of geosynthetics are used at the interfaces of surface layers to control the reflective cracks. The significant factors influencing their efficiency are the flexural strength and interfacial bonding. Fracture energy that leads to development of cracks and their propagation can be investigated by single-edge notched beam (SENB) tests with sufficient accuracy. Double layered asphalt samples were extracted from pavement sections purposely built as part of this investigation for conducting quasi-static SENB tests. The goal of this paper is two-fold (a) to present a methodology for conducting SENB tests to measure the fracture properties of geosynthetic reinforced samples at temperatures of 10 °C, 20 °C and 30 °C and (b) evaluation of the flexural and the fracture characteristics of unreinforced and geosynthetic reinforced samples. The geosynthetic reinforcement did not show much improvement of the Asphalt Concrete (AC) in the pre-cracking phase but slowed down the crack propagation. The failure pattern of reinforced specimens has changed from quasi-brittle to ductile. An equation is proposed to predict the crack initiation force of SENB sample knowing the bond strength of the corresponding reinforced AC layers at their respective temperature. 相似文献

This study was devised to evaluate the performance of polymer-modified asphalt mixtures and specially designed reinforcement techniques against reflection cracking for the typical asphalt pavement overlays. Selected polymers from previous studies were used as asphalt modifiers along with fibre; a polypropylene film (vinyl) and a grid were used as reinforcing materials. Using the reinforced asphalt mixtures with the optimum asphalt content from mix design, an asphalt mixture slab was made and cut into two specimens. A layer of grid or polypropylene film was placed at the bottom of each specimen to strengthen the pavement layer against cracking. Simulated-repeated loading was applied to the asphalt mixture specimens using a hydraulic dynamic loading frame. The asphalt mixture specimens were bonded to a cement concrete base which was cut to simulate a crack. Crack propagation under repeated loading was monitored and the effectiveness of the devised crack preventing techniques was evaluated. From the test results, a significant retardation of crack progress was monitored from some of the modified and reinforced asphalt mixtures. 相似文献

结合滨河路老路改造工程,应用数值仿真,引进了奇异单元模拟裂缝尖端的应力应变场,建立了土工格栅治理新老路路面拼接的计算模型,对行车荷载偏载作用下老路拼接工程中土工格栅的阻裂作用进行分析。结果表明:老路拼接裂缝为张拉型,应力强度因子KI远大于KII,拼接位置主要发生弯拉破坏;新老路不均匀沉降作用下,铺设土工格栅应力强度因子小于未铺设土工格栅应力强度因子,土工格栅阻止裂缝的扩展,对路面裂缝有阻裂作用;在新老路路面拼接处,半刚性基层开裂先于面层,土工格栅铺设位置越靠上,越有利于发挥土工格栅的抗拉效果,建议在路面基层顶面铺设土工格栅。 相似文献

Finite element (FE) models were developed to evaluate the benefits of geosynthetic reinforcement in flexible pavements built over weak subgrades. The parametric study was conducted to evaluate the effect of different variables such as base thickness, geosynthetic type, geosynthetic stiffness, and double-geogrid layers. FE analyses were performed for 100 load cycles, and the permanent deformation (PD) was used to calibrate the empirical parameters in MEPDG equations for each layer, which were used to extrapolate PD data for the service life of pavements. The PD curves for unreinforced and similar reinforced sections were used to evaluate the Traffic Benefit Ratios (TBR) at different rut depths. The results showed that the inclusion of one geogrid/geotextile layer at the base-subgrade interface could significantly reduce pavement rutting. The use of geogrid is more effective than geotextile in reducing pavement rutting. The derived TBR values range from 1.91 to 8.9 for one geogrid layer and from 1.71 to 5.92 for one geotextile layer. The TBR values increase with increasing the rutting depth and geosynthetic stiffness. The TBR value demonstrates an optimum at a base thickness of 10 in. The results demonstrated the superior benefits of using double geogrid layers compared to single-layer cases. 相似文献

In this study, a series of controlled traffic loadings was conducted on unreinforced and geosynthetic-reinforced full-scale asphalt overlays. Unlike the common objective of using paving interlayers to mitigate the development of reflective cracks, the main purpose of adopting geosynthetics for this study was to render an increased roadway structural capacity. The project involved instrumented test sections constructed during the rehabilitation of an in-service roadway in Texas, USA. The rehabilitation involved repairing the pre-existing pavement, placing tack coat, installing a geosynthetic interlayer (except in the unreinforced section), and finally constructing a 75 mm-thick asphalt overlay. This overlay comprised a 50 mm-thick, dense-graded (TY-D) layer overlain by a 25 mm-thick, thin-overlay mixture (TOM) layer. Controlled traffic loadings were conducted, which involved driving standard and light axle loads directly above asphalt strain gauges that had been installed at mid-depth of the pre-existing asphalt layer. Comparison of tensile strains among the different test sections revealed significantly smaller tensile strains in the geosynthetic-reinforced sections compared to those obtained in the unreinforced section. Consequently, and even though geosynthetic interlayers have often been adopted to minimize reflective cracking in asphalt overlays, the field monitoring results generated in this study demonstrate that they also provide added roadway structural capacity. 相似文献

Flexible conductive materials are widely used in structural health monitoring; it is also known in geotechnical engineering. In this preliminary study, a strain-self-sensing smart geogrid rib was proposed to monitor the induced strain by wetting-drying cycles of the expansive soil. After the calibration, a physical modeling test was conducted with the smart geogrid rib reinforced in expansive soils under three wetting-drying cycles. Results demonstrated: that the smart geogrid rib was capable of self-sensing its strain; the strain self-sensed by the smart geogrid rib was in good agreement with that measured by FBG strain sensors before cracks were generated; it could capture the crack propagation of expansive soils during wetting-drying cycles by the discrepancy compared to FBG sensors. Further study will be continued for the mechanism of the geogrid instead of the geogrid rib and the application to real-time monitoring of the performance of the geosynthetic expansive soil slopes. 相似文献

The crack potential of the pavement under various loading conditions and temperature variations has been a problem for the application of asphalt pavements. Crack generation in asphalt pavement increases the maintenance and rehabilitation costs. Two principal solutions for the problem of asphalt pavement cracking have been introduced: first, applying a thicker asphalt pavement and, second, making an asphalt mixture with modified characteristics. The effects of different types of reinforcement on the cracking potential of asphalt pavement as a substantial characteristic of asphalt mixture has been questioned, and a variety of different experiments have been developed to determine these effects. The use of tire cord mesh in reinforcing asphalt pavement has been introduced and accurately observed in this research. In this paper, the crack potential of asphalt pavement reinforced with tire cord mesh is evaluated with emphasis on introducing experimental methods and analysing their results. The results show that the tire cord mesh reinforcement significantly increases the asphalt pavement resistance against cracking and increases its service life while decreasing maintenance and rehabilitation costs. 相似文献

在道路的使用过程中,沥青加铺层一直经历着交通荷载及温度变化的循环作用,沥青加铺层结构中的裂缝扩展呈现为疲劳断裂特征.沥青加铺层的使用寿命(从开始承载直至破坏所经历的车辆荷载及温度循环次数或作用时间)可分为疲劳裂缝形成寿命和疲劳裂缝扩展寿命两部分.疲劳裂缝形成寿命为由微观缺陷发展到宏观可检裂缝所对应的寿命,目前仍由传统疲劳理论的方法确定;而疲劳裂缝扩展寿命则为由宏观可检裂缝扩展到临界裂缝而发生破坏这段区间的寿命,用疲劳断裂力学方法确定.论文着重对沥青混合料与沥青路面的疲劳断裂进行分析. 相似文献
