Predicting Pavement Performance

Transportation Engineering Journal of ASCE, 1974
An approach using a new modeling technique (transfer function theory) was developed to predict the performance of a pavement system subjected to dynamic load inputs. The study indicated that the characteristics of flexible pavement could be represented by a series of time-dependent transfer functions obtained from dynamic tests using practically any ...

Performance Evaluation of Pavement Preservation Using Long-Term Pavement Performance Data

Airfield and Highway Pavement 2013, 2013
This paper investigated the effectiveness of pavement preservation on preventing different pavement distresses and identified the factors significantly affecting the effectiveness of preservation. Twenty-one specific sites with only one preservation treatment applied in the monitoring period were selected from the Specific Pavement Studies-3 (SPS-3 ...

Concrete Pavement Performance in Midwestern Argentina Compared with Long-Term Pavement Performance Data

Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, 2006
Portland cement concrete pavements have been constructed in many areas in Argentina that feature heavy traffic and freeways and highways in freezing areas. To predict their performance, computational programs such as the World Bank's HDM-4 may be used.

Pavement Performance Measures

Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, 2014
Performance measures considered for flexible and rigid surfaced pavements and the threshold values for these measures are reported. A survey was sent to members of the Joint Technical Committee on Pavements, and 14 of 20 states responded. Performance measures for flexible pavements included international roughness index (IRI), rutting, and cracking ...

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.

Pavement Performance Index for Ratıng of Flexıble Pavements

2019
In this paper author has made an attempt to develop a Pavement Performance Index (PPI) for a rating of flexible pavements. For the development of the PPI model, normalized method of fuzzy multiple criteria decision making method has been used. Total sixteen parameters have been considered as structural and functional indicators.

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

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 ...

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.

Performance of Precast Concrete Pavements

Transportation and Development Institute Congress 2011, 2011
Precast pavement technology is a new and innovative construction method that can be used to meet the need for rapid pavement repair and construction. Precast pavement systems are fabricated or assembled off-site, transported to the project site, and installed on a prepared foundation (existing pavement or re-graded foundation).
