This book was released on 2004 with total page 548 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis contains results from three projects describing self-cementing fly ash stabilization of RAP-soil mixtures, stabilization of limestone screenings for use as a structural layer in road construction, and finite element modeling results of various subgrade materials including self-cementing fly ash stabilized subgrade, natural subgrade, granular subbase, and hydrated fly ash. The first project shows that self-cementing fly ash stabilization of RAP-soil mixtures is economically feasible and structurally capable of supporting construction traffic. The increase stiffness from the addition of self-cementing fly ash increases capacity ensuring long term pavement performance. Addition of self-cementing fly ash increases the consolidated shear strength about five times. The second project shows construction operations and field results proving that stabilization of limestone screenings is viable, cost effective, and produces an adequate structural layer for road construction. The measured moisture-density curves for manufactured sand and limestone screenings are about the same, and the moisture-strength curves show a dramatic decrease in strength beyond the optimum moisture content for strength. Durability testing concluded that CKD stabilized manufactured sand and limestone screenings are not viable construction alternatives, and the addition of class C fly ash with CKD significantly increased the durability of the mixtures. The third project concluded that a link exists between subgrade non-uniformity and pavement performance. Field testing, with the DCP, Clegg Impact Hammer, nuclear density gauge, and GeoGauge, and statistical analysis of subgrade materials concluded that granular subbase, self-cementing fly ash treated subgrade, and HFA decrease the variability of field results. Finite element modeling analysis proved that a link exists between subgrade non-uniformity and pavement performance. Uniform modeling conditions produced lower average deflections and stresses increasing pavement life. Statistical analysis concluded that modeling uniform subgrade conditions produce average stresses that have less variability than those for non-uniform modeling conditions. Pavement response reliability increased with the addition of uniform subgrade, proving that subgrade non-uniformity influences pavement performance.

Download or read book Proposed Enhancements to Pavement ME Design: Improved Consideration of the Influence of Subgrade and Unbound Layers on Pavement Performance written by and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The performance of flexible and rigid pavements is known to be closely related to properties of the base, subbase, and/or subgrade. However, some recent research studies indicate that the performance predicted by this methodology shows a low sensitivity to the properties of underlying layers and does not always reflect the extent of the anticipated effect/ So the procedures contained in the American Association of Transportation Officials’ (AASHTO’s) design guidance need to be evaluated. NCHRP Web-Only Document 264: Proposed Enhancements to Pavement ME Design: Improved Consideration of the Influence of Subgrade and Unbound Layers on Pavement Performance proposes and develops enhancements to AASHTO's Pavement ME Design procedures for both flexible and rigid pavements, which will better reflect the influence of subgrade and unbound layers (properties and thicknesses) on the pavement performance.

Download or read book Significant Findings from Full-scale Accelerated Pavement Testing written by Wynand JvdM. Steyn and published by Transportation Research Board. This book was released on 2012 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Synthesis 433: Significant Findings from Full-Scale Accelerated Pavement Testing documents and summarizes significant findings from the various experimental activities associated with full-scale accelerated pavement testing (f-sAPT) programs that have taken place between 2000 and 2011. The report also identifies gaps in knowledge related to f-sAPT and where future research may be needed. NCHRP Synthesis 433 is designed to expand the f-sAPT base of knowledge documented in NCHRP Syntheses 325 and 235, both with the same title of Significant Findings from Full-Scale Accelerated Pavement Testing. f-sAPT is the controlled application of a wheel loading, at or above the appropriate legal load limit, to a pavement system to determine pavement response in a compressed time period. The acceleration of damage is achieved by one or more of the following factors: increased repetitions, modified loading conditions, imposed climatic conditions, and thinner pavements with a decreased structural capacity which have shorter design lives"--
Book Synopsis Effect of Subgrade Conditions on Pavement Analysis and Performance Prediction by : Md Jibon
Download or read book Effect of Subgrade Conditions on Pavement Analysis and Performance Prediction written by Md Jibon and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Mechanistic-Empirical (M-E) pavement design approach detailed in the Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide (MEPDG), and subsequently implemented through AASHTOWare® Pavement ME Design relies extensively on detailed material properties that ultimately govern the analysis and performance prediction results. For unbound materials like soils and aggregates, Resilient Modulus (MR) is the most critical input parameter affecting layer response under vehicular and environmental loading. Representing a material’s ability to ‘recover’ after loading, resilient modulus is determined in the laboratory through repeated load triaxial testing. Although the original test protocol to measure the resilient modulus value of a soil or aggregate was developed back in the 1980’s, this test is still not widely used by state highway agencies because it is cumbersome, and requires significant investments towards equipment and personnel training. Accordingly, most agencies rely on correlation equations to predict the resilient modulus values for soils and aggregates from other easy-to-determine material properties. However, these correlation equations are mostly region specific, and therefore, do not produce adequate results across different geographic regions. This has led several state highway agencies to undertake local calibration efforts for improved prediction of material properties. Over the past decade, the Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) has invested significant resources to facilitate state-wide implementation of mechanistic-empirical pavement design practices. A research study was recently undertaken by ITD to develop a database of resilient modulus properties for different soils and aggregates commonly used in the state of Idaho for pavement applications. Another objective of the study was to assess the adequacy of different correlation equations currently available to predict soil and aggregate resilient modulus from easy-to-determine material (strength and index) properties. This Master’s thesis is based on tasks carried out under the scope of the above-mentioned project, and focuses on laboratory characterization and analysis of representative subgrade soil types collected from across Idaho. An extensive laboratory test matrix was developed involving commonly used mechanical and index tests, repeated load triaxial tests for resilient modulus determination, as well as tests to study the soil permanent deformation (plastic strain) behavior. Effect of moisture variation on soil strength, modulus, and permanent deformation properties was also studied by testing soil specimens at three different moisture contents. The test results were thoroughly analyzed to evaluate the feasibility of predicting resilient modulus from other material properties. Findings from this research effort have been documented in the form of two journal manuscripts. The first manuscript highlights the importance of using adequate subgrade resilient modulus values during pavement design. Eight different soil types were randomly selected from a total of sixteen soil types, and the corresponding laboratory test results were used to highlight the limitations of ITD’s current approach with assumed resilient modulus values. The second manuscript focuses on highlighting the importance of unbound material permanent deformation characterization during pavement design, and how small changes in moisture content can lead to significant differences in the rutting behavior of subgrade soils. First, a new permanent deformation testing protocol was developed to simulate typical stress states experienced by subgrade layers under vehicular loading. Subsequently, permanent deformation tests were carried out on subgrade soil types collected from two distinctly different regions in Idaho as far as annual precipitation is concerned. Tests were conducted at three different moisture contents to highlight how the rutting potential of the subgrade may change significantly based on site precipitation and drainage characteristics. Finally, recommendations were made regarding how state highway agencies can accurately represent resilient modulus properties of soils during pavement analysis and performance prediction using AASHTOWare® Pavement ME Design."--Boise State University ScholarWorks.
