The falling weight deflectometer (FWD) is a non-destructive test equipment used to assess the structural condition of highway and airfield pavement systems and to determine the moduli of pavement layers. The backcalculated moduli are not only good pavement layer condition indicators but are also necessary inputs for conducting mechanistic based pavement structural analysis. In this study, artificial neural networks (ANNs)-based backcalculation models were employed to rapidly and accurately predict flexible airport pavement layer moduli from realistic FWD deflection basins acquired at the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration's National Airport Pavement Test Facility (NAPTF). The uniformity characteristics of NAPTF flexible pavements were successfully mapped using the ANN predictions. 相似文献

The AASHTO Guide for Design of Pavement Structures uses a structural number as one of the major inputs for flexible pavement thickness design. Previous studies have shown that the layer coefficients, which are a component of the structural number, have variability. The use of these values without a strong consideration of their variability can influence the overall determination of the structural number, hence, the thickness of the pavement. This paper proposes to use convex models as a tool for addressing the variability and uncertainty in the structural number determination. The convex models provide a completely non-probabilistic representation of uncertainty. The uncertainty is treated as unknown-but-bounded. The approach is illustrated by an example. 相似文献

Management of flexible pavements requires timely application of preventive maintenance and rehabilitation actions such as overlays. These actions are an integral part of a design strategy that minimises the use of recourses over the pavement's life-cycle. The objective of this paper is to develop a reliability model for flexible pavements that accounts for the effects of overlay designs. In this paper, the pavement responses are determined by the linear theory of elasticity for the system of pavement layers, while the pavement reliability is represented as a series system of two failure criteria: fatigue cracking and rutting. To illustrate the developed model, a numerical study is presented. Sensitivity and importance measures are computed for the parameters and the random variables included in the limit state functions. The sensitivity measures suggest that the initial asphalt layer thickness and the sub-grade stiffness are the critical predictors of the pavement performance after application of a structural overlay. 相似文献

Pavement condition monitoring is required to identify pavements in need of maintenance or rehabilitation. Early identification of reduction in pavement's structural resistance and improving the structural resistance by minor repairs can lead to significantly lower maintenance costs for transportation agencies. In this study, a cost‐effective wireless sensor that can be embedded in the road to measure the transient vibrations due to different applied loads was tested to determine its effectiveness in terms of pavement displacement measurements. Test results show that the vibration sensor, combined with the algorithms, can be embedded in new or existing pavements and used as an accurate wireless displacement sensor. The low cost of the sensor system allows the use of these sensors at high densities for monitoring the performance of an entire road network. Outputs from the developed system can be directly used to evaluate the condition and performance of pavement structure (increasing displacement over time indicating increasing pavement damage). In addition, displacement data from the system can be used to backcalculate pavement layer stiffnesses, which can be used to predict long‐term performance of the pavement structure. Reduction in pavement layer stiffness over time can be used to determine long‐term damage accumulation. 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

Flexible pavements are especially affected by moving vehicles. As a result of the moving vehicles, the pavement starts to deteriorate. For the determination of the structural capacity of the pavement, non-destructive testing equipments are used. These are mainly Benkelman beam, Dynaflect and falling weight deflectometer (FWD). In such a process, the most important thing is to analyze the collected data. In general, linear elastic theory and finite element method are used for this purpose. Since linear elastic theory and finite element method are time consuming, a fuzzy logic approach is used for the elimination of this drawback during the course of this study. Results indicate that the fuzzy logic approach can be used for the modeling of the deflection behavior against dynamic vehicle loading for flexible pavements. The fuzzy model is able to predict the deflection behavior against dynamical loading. The new approach can capture the non-linearity of surface deflection behavior. 相似文献

In this study, an artificial neural network (ANN)-based approach was employed to backcalculate the asphalt concrete and non-linear stress-dependent subgrade moduli from non-destructive test (NDT) data acquired at the Federal Aviation Administration's National Airport Pavement Test Facility (NAPTF) during full-scale traffic testing. The ANN models were trained with results from an axisymmetric finite element pavement structural model. Using the ANN-predicted moduli based on the NDT test results, the relative severity effects of simulated Boeing 777 (B777) and Boeing 747 (B747) aircraft gear trafficking on the structural deterioration of NAPTF flexible pavement test sections were characterized. The results indicate the potential of using lower force amplitude NDT test data for routine airport pavement structural evaluation, as long as they generate sufficient deflections for reliable data acquisition. Therefore, NDT tests that employ force amplitudes at prototypical aircraft loading may not be necessary to evaluate airport pavements. 相似文献

Pavement deterioration creates conditions that undermine their performances, which gives rise to the need for maintenance and rehabilitation. This paper develops a mathematical multi-linear regression analysis (MLRA) model to determine a pavement sustainability index (PSTI) as dependent variable for flexible pavements in Maryland. Four categories of pavement performance evaluation indicators are subdivided into seven pavement condition indices and analyzed as independent variables for each section of pavement. Data are collected from five different roadways using field evaluations and existing database. Results indicate that coefficient of determination (R2) is correlated and significant, R2 = 0.959. Of the seven independent variables, present serviceability index (PSI) is the most significant with a coefficient value of 0.032, present serviceability rating (PSR) coefficient value= 0.028, and international roughness index (IRI) coefficient value= ?0.001. Increasing each unit value of coefficients for PSI and PSR would increase the value of PSTI; thereby providing a more sustainable pavement infrastructure; which explains the significance of the model and why IRI will most likely impact environmental, economic and social values. 相似文献

沥青路面是典型的层状体系,层间黏结状态的好差直接影响到路面的使用性能.采用三维非线性有限元软件ABAQUS,同时考虑沥青混合料的劲度模量随温度变化的特性,数值模拟计算了沥青路面在不同温度场状况下分别与水平及竖向荷载耦合作用的关键力学响应,分析各响应指标随层间接触状态变化的特性.研究结果表明由于接触模型作用机理的不同,其关键力学指标响应要比连续模型下的大;除路表竖向变形大小几乎与层间接触状态无关外,其他指标在低温状况下,层间接触条件变化对其影响较小,而在高温状况下,特别当层间接触摩擦系数μ<0.6时影响很大,尤其对基层、底基层的最大拉应力及面层的最大剪应力影响显著.研究成果为科学解释沥青路面在不同环境温度与车辆荷载综合作用下的破损特征与行为机理提供了有力依据,为改善层问黏结条件有利于提高路面整体性能提供了理论支撑. 相似文献

A 225m long full-scale testing lane was constructed at a local road in Australia to evaluate the performance of the flexible pavements over a weak soft subgrade. The pavements were reinforced with three types of geosynthetic products: High-density polyethylene (HDPE) geogrid, HDPE geocomposite and fibreglass geocomposite. The road was divided into 15 sections with different configurations such as the thickness of the base course, reinforcement types and locations, and base course materials. A series of in-situ tests were conducted on each section to compare the behaviour of the pavement structures, such as the moduli of the subgrade, base course and asphalt layer. The comparison shows that there is a large variation in the properties of the structures and great uncertainties in determining the properties even within the sections with the same configuration. When the base course is weaker, the FWD tests may be able to detect the effect of the reinforcements below the asphalt seal layer. Smaller plates are recommended when determining the modulus of thinner base course layers using FWD or LWD tests to minimize the influences from the subgrade. 相似文献

"Pavement Expert" is an expert system developed to aid in the evaluation of concrete pavements. The system is operational on an IBM microcomputer. It guides the engineer through the evaluation procedure, ensures that it is carried out adequately, and that it can be independently repeated by other engineers. "Pavement Expert" operates in two modes: dialogue and data rogging modes. The dialogue mode is controlled by a Savoir shell which controls the dialogue between the user and the system. The system makes decisions "intelligently" concerning the length of the section to evaluate, extent and severity of the observed distresses, and calculates and stores the final indices. The data logging mode acts as an intelligent data logger recording specific observed distresses. This information is presented graphically on the screen, allowing for alterations to be made. The system consists of five stages ranging from identifying the road to providing a full report on the general condition of the pavement. 相似文献
