Performance-based specifications for pavements

Canadian Journal of Civil Engineering, 1991
Pavements represent a very substantial portion of the public's investment in infrastructure. It is essential that this investment be preserved through cost-effective planning, design, and maintenance. One way of achieving this is through the use of long-term performance-based specifications. This paper first describes the current practice for pavement

Routine Maintenance and Pavement Performance

Journal of Transportation Engineering, 1986
A study of the relationship between pavement performance and routine maintenance is presented. A concept for deriving this relationship is described. This concept introduces two parameters to represent quantitatively pavement performance and level of pavement routine maintenance.

Evaluation of cooling effect and pavement performance for thermochromic material modified asphalt mixtures under solar radiation

, 2020
The thermal effect of asphalt pavements on the surrounding environment in summer is of increasing concern since they absorb a great deal of heat from solar radiation and contribute greatly to the urban heat island effect.

Influence of ATB on Pavement Performance

Performance Modeling and Evaluation of Pavement Systems and Materials, 2009
In order to study the influence of asphalt treated base (ATB) on pavement performance, a multi-layer elastic theory program is utilized to calculate the stress and strain in different pavement structures. Based on an instant heat conducting hypothesis, a finite element model is established to calculate the temperature stress and the strain of pavement ...

Investigating impacts of asphalt mixture properties on pavement performance using LTPP data through random forests

Construction and Building Materials, 2019
Numerous laboratory studies have demonstrated that the properties of hot-mix asphalt (HMA) play a crucial role in the performance of the HMA. However, few studies have directly correlated HMA properties to field pavement performance.

Feasibility of Pavement Temperature as a Surrogate for Performance of Rigid Pavements

Proceedings of the International Conference on Concrete Pavements
As time marches forward communities across the State of Minnesota are experiencing on average higher temperatures, and higher frequency of extreme storms with intense flooding from climate change. For example, from 1951 to 2012 the average temperature and annual precipitation in the Twin Cities has increased by 3.25°F and 5.5 inches, respectively. Over

Assess the impacts of different autonomous trucks’ lateral control modes on asphalt pavement performance

Transportation Research Part C: Emerging Technologies, 2019
With ongoing massive investment in the field of autonomous vehicles, fully autonomous self-driving vehicles are set to become a reality soon. Despite the benefits in traffic safety and economy, the potential effects of autonomous vehicles, especially ...

Cumulative Deflection and Pavement Performance

Transportation Engineering Journal of ASCE, 1975
Pavement engineers have not been able to predict the performance of pavement systems prior to their actual construction and operational utilization. A solution to this problem is obtained by verifying the following hypothesis. There is a functional relationship between the cumulative peak deflections sustained by a given pavement system and the ...
