Calibration of MEPDG Performance Models for Flexible Pavement Distresses to Local Conditions of Ontario
Cunha Coelho, Nelson Fernando; 0000-0002-7972-6781 (2016-08-12)The implementation of the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) Mechanistical-Empirical Pavement Design requires the development of a design procedure that can be used by the agencies ... -
Comparative Damage Of Different Truck Configurations On Jointed Plain Concrete Pavement
Nyamuhokya, Tito P. (Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2009-09-16)This study estimated the damage done by trucks with 35 different configurations on a typical structure of a Jointed Plain Concrete Pavement. The configurations were proposed by New York Department of Transportation, the ... -
Comparison Of Measured And Predicted Response Of Six MnRoad Asphalt Test Sections
Nagarajan, Veni Valli (Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2013-03-20)The study, sponsored by MnRoad, aimed to compare the measured and predicted values of strains and stresses for six cells 33, 34, 35, 77, 78 and 79 of the third MnRoad experiments. Cells 33, 34 and 35 were constructed for ... -
Development Of A Flexible Pavement Design Procedure Based On The Mechanistic - Empirical Pavement Design Guide: A Case Study
Abdullah, Ali Qays (Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2013-03-20)This research developed design tables of new flexible pavement structures for New York State Department of Transportation based on the Mechanistic Empirical Design Guide (MEPDG). The design tables were developed using the ... -
Development Of The Duplicate Shear Test For Asphalt Mixtures
Khajeh Hosseini, Mohammadreza (Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2015)Permanent shear deformation is the main cause of rutting in asphalt concrete layers. Therefore, the determination of the shear properties of asphalt mixtures is helpful for predicting the rutting in asphalt pavement ... -
Development Of Traffic Inputs For The Mechanistic-empirical Pavement Design Guide In New York State
Intaj, Ferdous (Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2013-03-20)Proper characterization of traffic data is a prerequisite for the determination of appropriate traffic inputs to Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide (MEPDG). The development of proper traffic inputs helps reflect ... -
IMPROVEMENTS TO THE DUPLICATE SHEAR TESTER
Jweihan, Yazeed Suleiman; 0000-0003-0200-2942 (2018-02-15)Rutting in the asphalt concrete layer is a major distress in flexible pavements caused by the permanent shear deformation in asphalt mixes. The shear deformation is induced by heavy truck axis during hot summer days. Rutting ... -
Local Calibration Of Mechanistic Empirical Pavement Design Guide For North Eastern United States
Momin, Shariq A. (Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2011-10-11)The Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide (MEPDG) developed under the National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) 1-37A project is based on mechanistic-empirical analysis of the pavement structure to predict ... -
Measured And Theoretical Response Of Perpetual Pavement Structures
Portillo, Miguel M. (Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2009-09-16)The Kansas Perpetual Pavement experiment includes the construction of four pavement sections on the US-75 highway designed according to the perpetual pavement concept. The sections were instrumented with strain gauges and ... -
A New Technique For The Estimation Of The Elastic Moduli Of Pavement Layers From Light Weight Deflectometer Data
Akbariyeh, NickeyThis study developed a method to estimate the elastic moduli of a flexible pavement system from Light Weight Deflectometer deflection data. The forward method (simple equations) can be easily programmed into the data ... -
Variability Of As-constructed Properties Of HMA And Their Relation To Pay Factors And Rutting Resistance: A Case Study
Martinez, Rosario Tripiana (Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2014-12)During the last decade, Texas has under gone a huge reconstruction of its major and strategic highways in order to improve transportation and prepare for future population and traffic growth. The population is estimated ...
