In order to study the dynamic response of an asphalt road, a dynamic model of the road under a moving load is proposed, in which the viscoelastic characteristics of the base and pavement are all considered, the pavement is regarded as an infinite beam on a Kelvin viscoelastic base. By using Green’s functions, Laplace transforms, and Fourier transforms, the analytical solution in transient is deduced. As the viscosity of the pavement is included in the model, the analytical solution can be used to investigate more of the factors that affect the dynamic response, such as vehicle speed, temperature, and road material properties. Using this analytical solution, some numerical calculations are given to illustrate the effects of vehicles’ speeds and different damping on the deflection with the displacement. 相似文献

Van der Waals force between neutral molecules is employed to characterize the interaction among molecules in asphalt cement. Several important consequences emerge from the consideration. The brittle strength of the asphalt binder is shown to be linked to the well depth of the Van der Waals potential and the mesoscopic cracks present within the asphalt binder. Moreover, the elastic modulus of asphalt binder is analytically related to the potential well depth. The strength of the asphalt concrete (AC) is estimated by considering aggregate surface characteristics and the adhesion strength between asphaltenes or resins and molecules of aggregates. These predictions can help design asphalt concrete pavement. Formulas for predicting the binder strength and the interfacial breaking strength between aggregates and binders are derived. These results are supported by reported data. Furthermore, an analytic expression for the strength of AC is given at temperature below the AC glass transition point. 相似文献

A new structural model for pavements on steel bridge decks (SLPE) is developed. In this model, a prism element and a strip element represent the pavement and steel bridge deck, respectively. A newly developed link element models the insulation layer that bonds the pavement to the steel deck plate. The SLPE model is verified by calculations that simulate a simply supported square plate and an actual pavement on a bridge deck. Furthermore, the model is expanded to deal with dynamic problems that consider the viscosity of asphalt materials. 相似文献

A variety of hot mix asphalt mixtures are used in highway and runway pavement construction. Each mixture caters to specific needs. Mixtures differ from one another in the type and percentage of aggregates and asphalt used, and their response can be markedly different, and thus there is a need to develop constitutive models that can differentiate between the different kinds of mixtures. In this paper, we outline a general procedure for the constitutive modeling of bituminous mixtures. We illustrate the efficacy of this approach by means of an application to sand asphalt. The governing equations for this special problem reduce to a stiff nonlinear ordinary differential equation and this is solved numerically using Gear’s method. We compare the results of the predictions of the model that we have developed with the compressive creep experiments carried out by Wood and Goetz on a typical sand asphalt mixture and find them to be in good agreement. 相似文献

Research in accelerated pavement testing (APT) facilities has traditionally focused on the pavement performance such as rutting and fatigue cracking, but documentation on construction management and information of the actual pavement construction quality is limited. There are typically four critical factors that need to be considered to achieve the best possible outcome in construction: cost, schedule, construction process, and quality control, and management. With the objective of developing guidelines for planning and executing construction of a small-scale APT facility, this paper presents a case study documenting and evaluating the construction process and construction management efforts of two sensor-instrumented hot mix asphalt pavement test sections built in a small-scale APT facility. The focus of the experiment was to study bottom-up fatigue cracking of the flexible pavement structure. The presented information and lessons learned serve as a template and guide for agencies pursuing this type of research and pavement construction. 相似文献

This paper presents a quantitative economic analysis and a qualitative constructability analysis of three-dimensional fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) reinforcement cages for concrete beams. Material, labor, and life-cycle costs are provided, and construction practice aspects are discussed. The results of the analyses indicate that prefabricated FRP cages can offer benefits to the construction industry. Although the initial costs of the FRP materials are likely to be higher than those of steel rebar, there is a significant potential for cost savings due to reduced maintenance and labor costs, as a result of the corrosion resistance of the FRP and the increased construction productivity. When direct life-cycle costs are considered, FRP reinforcements already constitute, in many cases, an economically competitive alternative to conventional steel reinforcement in adverse environments. If, in addition, the indirect cost savings as well as quality and safety issues are considered, the FRP reinforcement may be even more competitive. 相似文献

Warranty contracts are expected to enhance product quality and service life at lower life-cycle cost. Recognizing that such benefits could be offset by the generally higher costs of warranties, an assessment of the relative cost-effectiveness of warranty contracts compared to their traditional counterparts is currently of great interest. Using pavement data from Indiana, this paper evaluates the costs, effectiveness, and cost-effectiveness of warranty and traditional contracts. Effectiveness was measured in terms of pavement condition and treatment service life. The paper determined that the warranty contracts generally had higher agency costs but produced pavements with superior condition and service life, and lower construction periods and work-zone user costs, compared to their traditional counterparts. Over a 5-year period, the warranty contracts were found to be 27–30% less cost-effective than their traditional counterparts. Over the long term, the warranty contracts were found to be 70–90% more cost-effective on the basis of service life and 58–65% more cost-effective on the basis of both service life and pavement condition. The study results suggest that the higher long-term cost-effectiveness of warranty contracts is more perceptible when both cost and effectiveness are viewed over the entire life of the pavement treatment and when both agency and user cost are used in the cost analysis. The paper discusses certain aspects of such comparative evaluation studies that could lead to biased inferences and calls for careful screening of warranty and traditional contracts for such studies. 相似文献

In the past few years, a number of full-depth or perpetual pavements have been designed and constructed in the State of Texas. A study was conducted to examine the quality of the compaction of the thick asphalt layers within these pavements using advanced forensic tools such as X-ray computed tomography (X-ray CT) and ground penetrating radar (GPR). The GPR is a nondestructive tool for evaluating the uniformity of density in pavements at highway speed. X-ray CT is a laboratory tool that is used to conduct detailed analysis of air void distribution and uniformity in asphalt pavement cores. This paper presents the results of analyzing one of the perpetual pavements constructed in State Highway 114 (SH-114). In this project, two different structural asphalt pavement sections were placed, one included a 1?in. (25.4 mm) stone filled (SF) Superpave mix and the other included a traditional dense graded Type B material. The dense graded Type B material was found to be uniformly compacted. However, major compaction problems were identified with the coarse SF Superpave mix. The poor compaction and associated high percent air vsoids were found to permit moisture infiltration, which could potentially lead to rapid pavement deterioration. The analysis showed very good agreement between the GPR and X-ray CT results and demonstrated the efficiency of using GPR and X-ray CT in the evaluation of asphalt pavement compaction. 相似文献

Three‐dimensional (3D) contact stresses occurring between the road surface and the tire that were measured with the South African Vehicle Road Surface Pressure Transducer Array (VRSPTA) device under a moving wheel are transformed to a corresponding force/stress pattern representing the actual contact stress state under the tire by means of a software program. In combination with a dynamic load function such force patterns derived from these Stress‐in‐Motion (SIM) measurements with the VRSPTA device are used to introduce a more advanced load representation of the tire‐pavement interface into a three‐dimensional (3D) finite element (FE) model. Further, a method is presented to derive viscoelastic material properties of asphalt concrete (AC) mixes from dynamic frequency sweep shear (FS‐S) tests of lab specimens or field cores that can be used to define material behavior of the AC layers in the 3D FE pavement model. Linear elastic layered theory is utilized to validate the results of the FE computations in order to demonstrate that the FE method can successfully be used to include SIM measurements for more advanced analysis and design of pavements. First results of the 3D FE simulation of a load circle of the Heavy Vehicle Simulator (HVS) during accelerated pavement testing of a pavement test section are presented. These results encourage employment of the FE pavement model for further simulation work to assess the rutting potential of AC mixes in combination with different tire types and loading situations. 相似文献

Continuous real-time estimating of compaction quality during the construction of a hot mix asphalt (HMA) pavement is addressed in this paper. The densification of asphalt pavements during construction usually is accomplished by using vibratory compactors. During compaction, the compactor and the asphalt mat form a coupled system whose dynamics are influenced by the changing stiffness of the mat. The measured vibrations of the compactor along with process parameters such as lift thickness, mix type, mix temperature, and compaction pressure can be used to predict the asphalt mat density. Contrary to existing techniques in the literature in which a model is developed to fit experimental data and to predict mat density, a neural network-based approach is adopted that is model-free and uses pattern-recognition techniques to estimate density. The neural network is designed to read the entire frequency spectrum of roller vibrations and to classify these vibrations into different levels. The intelligent asphalt compaction analyzer (IACA) is then trained to convert these vibration levels into a “number” indicative of the asphalt mat density at a given location. This two-step process eliminates the need for regression analysis and produces more accurate density measurements than those reported elsewhere in the literature. Compaction studies of HMA mixes on a stiff subgrade indicate that the changes in the vibration characteristics of the roller are attributable to an increased compaction of the HMA base. The results also show that, with the neural network working as a classifier, the IACA can estimate the density continuously, and in real time, with accuracy levels adequate for quality control in the field. 相似文献

This paper describes the development of a computer model that performs life-cycle cost analysis (LCCA) of roadway pavements, analyzing the cost of both the agency and the user. Agency costs are a function of the type of rehabilitation, restoration, resurfacing, or reconstruction (i.e., 4R) treatment applicable to each pavement type, given its surface distress and structural condition. The cost of each treatment is calculated from the unit prices specified for the activities involved and the roadway geometry. User costs include vehicle operating and nonvehicle operating costs, which are a function of pavement roughness, as well as user delay costs, which are a function of lane closure practice. User benefits are calculated as savings in user costs due to reduction in pavement roughness from its current state to that of a new pavement. At the roadway network level, sections are flagged for analysis in decreasing benefit-cost order, whereby the cost of the most capital-intensive 4R treatment is considered. Sections flagged at the network level are carried forward to the project level analysis. The project level analysis allocates the available budget among the sections selected to maximize user benefits over the analysis period. The software package implementing this methodology, called pavement investment decisions (PID) is generic; that is, it allows customizing through a series of input screens to fit the pavement management database and practices of any state Department of Transportation (DOT). 相似文献

Four permeable pavement applications in North Carolina’s Coastal Plain were constructed and monitored to determine their effectiveness of reducing runoff quantity and improving water quality. Sites were either constructed of permeable interlocking concrete pavers (2), porous concrete (1), or concrete grid pavers (1). One site of each pavement type was monitored for runoff reduction for periods ranging from 10 to 26 months. Measured runoff depths from rainfall events over 50?mm were used to determine permeable pavement equivalent curve numbers for the sites, which ranged from 45 to 85. Only the two permeable interlocking concrete pavement (PICP) sites were monitored for water quality. Runoff and exfiltrate samples were intended to be collected, in addition to runoff monitoring, from the Swansboro PICP site. However, no runoff was produced during this study from the Swansboro PICP site for rainfall events up to 88?mm. From exfiltrate concentrations, nutrient retention was estimated to be 3.4 and 0.4?kg/ha/year for total nitrogen and total phosphorus, respectively. For the Goldsboro PICP site, water quality of asphalt runoff and PICP exfiltrate were compared. Analysis of water quality samples from the second site determined that concentrations of total Kjeldahl nitrogen, ammonia, total phosphorus, and zinc were significantly (p ? 0.05) lower in permeable pavement exfiltrate than asphalt runoff. 相似文献

This paper presents the development of a project-level decision support tool for ranking maintenance scenarios for concrete bridge decks deteriorated as a result of chloride-induced corrosion. The approach is based on a mechanistic deterioration model and a probabilistic life-cycle cost analysis. The analysis includes agency and user costs of alternative maintenance scenarios and considers uncertainties in the agency cost and the corrosion rate in the deterioration model. The tool presented in this paper can be used to find the optimal condition index of a given bridge deck that minimizes life-cycle cost. Based on the results obtained on three existing bridge decks, it is shown that the total life-cycle cost (user cost plus agency cost) is a nonlinear function of the maximum tolerable condition of the deck, Sm, and that for a practical range of Sm, the relationship between total life-cycle cost and Sm is convex. 相似文献

This paper presents details of a large field trial and some observations conducted to evaluate the practical efficiencies of geosynthetically reinforced asphalt pavements in Shanxi Province, China. Three glass-fiber grids (LB2000 II, TGG-8080, GGA 2021), one plastic grid (Tensar AR1), two geotextiles (nonwoven needle-punched and nonwoven heat-bonded), and one geocomposite (Tensar AR-G) application were selected for evaluation. These geosynthetics were installed in the interface between new asphalt pavement layers (APL) and new cement-stabilized gravel–sand base courses coated by emulsified asphalt or within new APL in the reconstruction of asphalt pavement sections (Program I), or in the interface between old APL and new overlay layers in the asphalt overlay pavement sections (Program II). In each program, reinforced sections with different geosynthetics were compared with each other and with nonreinforced sections to determine relative performance. Inspections after construction showed that the integrated damage ratio and deflection in the pavement sections reinforced with glass–fiber grids were less than other pavement sections. Furthermore, after about 4?years of service, glass-fiber grids were dug out and no breaking and node movement were discovered. Nevertheless, observations indicated that geosynthetics may not be effective, if bearing capacity of the base course/subgrade is inadequate, or if the overlay thickness is too thin, or if preconstruction repair of distressed old pavement is incomplete. 相似文献

One of the important components of a flexible pavement structure is granular material layers. Unsaturated granular pavement materials (UGPMs) in these layers influence stresses and strains throughout the pavement structure, and have a large effect on asphalt concrete fatigue and pavement rutting (two of the primary failure mechanisms for flexible pavements). The behavior of UGPMs is dependent on water content, but this effect has been traditionally difficult to quantify using either empirical or mechanistic methods. This paper presents a practical mechanistic framework for determining the behavior of UGPMs within the range of water contents, densities, and stress states likely to be encountered under field conditions. Both soil suction and generated pore pressures are determined and compared to confinement under typical field loading conditions. The framework utilizes a simple soil suction model that has three density-independent parameters, and can be determined using conventional triaxial equipment that is available in many pavement engineering laboratories. 相似文献
