摘要: The effectiveness of using the field diagnosis and falling weight deflectometer (FWD) mechanistic analysis in reducing a 65-km (40-mi) segment of asphalt pavement to project level segments is discussed, along with selecting a cost-effective rehabilitation strategy. A mechanistic-based analysis was performed on the deflection basins measured from I-85 in Virginia to backcalculate the layer moduli. The 65-km segment was divided into structurally homogeneous sections based on the backcalculated layer moduli. The data of each homogeneous section were analyzed further to assess the in situ structural capacity, to identify weak layers, to estimate the remaining structural life, and to determine the current and future rehabilitation needs. It was found that some sections have almost no remaining structural life, and others have remaining structural life of more than 10 years. A comparison was made between the FWD-field diagnosis rehabilitation program and a visual inspection rehabilitation program. Results of the comparison indicated that the visual inspection rehabilitation program resulted in selecting thicker overlays for some of the project sections (overdesigned) and thinner overlays for the other sections (underdesigned). It is estimated that the difference between the FWD-field diagnosis rehabilitation program and the visual inspection rehabilitation program for the overdesigned sections is in the range of 45% of the construction cost (savings). Life-cycle cost analysis (LCCA) was performed to quantify the difference between the two rehabilitation programs for the underdesigned sections. Results of the LCCA indicated that the FWD-field diagnosis rehabilitation program would result in 26% and 42% reduction in the construction cost and user delay cost, respectively.
