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.

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 ...

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

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

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 ...

THE PERFORMANCE OF RCC PAVEMENTS IN AUSTRALIA

Proceedings of the International Conference on Concrete Pavements
This paper reviews the performance of roller compacted concrete (RCC) pavements in Australia, detailing the progression in design, detailing, and construction techniques from the late 1980s. It provides an in-depth analysis of several early Australian projects, examining their performance characteristics, including wear, cracking, structural failures ...

Reliability Model for Pavement Performance

Journal of Transportation Engineering, 1988
A simulation model to calculate the reliability/performance of pavements is developed. The computer program, Reliability Analysis and Performance of Pavements (RAPP‐I), employs Monte Carlo simulation techniques to solve the design equations (e.g., AASHTO, Premium) in which all of the design variables are assumed to be probabilistic and normally ...

Stochastic Modeling of Pavement Performance

International Journal of Pavement Engineering, 2003
Pavement performance deterioration cannot be predicted precisely because traffic and environmental actions as well as the material properties and geometric variables of pavement systems are uncertain. Therefore, the prediction of the pavement performance should be carried out based on a probabilistic framework.
