摘要: An asphalt concrete section on a test track in the PACCAR Technical Center in Mount Vernon, Washington, was fitted with strain gauges at the surface and in pavement cores and tested using an instrumented truck operated at different speeds and with different tire pressures. The field test results are presented. The results indicate that the effects of both vehicle speed and tire pressure-contact area on pavement strains are significant. Increasing vehicle speed from 2.7 km/hr (1.7 mi/hr) to 64 km/hr (40 mi/hr) caused a decrease of approximately 30 to 40% in longitudinal strains at the bottom of the asphalt concrete layer, which was 137 mm (5.4 in.) thick. The speed effect on transverse strains is lower, causing only a 15 to 30% decrease. Reducing tire pressure from 620 kPa (90 psi) to 214 kPa (30 psi) caused a decrease of approximately 20 to 45% in the horizontal strains at the bottom of the asphalt concrete layer. The pressure effect on surface strains was significantly lower, causing only a 5 to 20% decrease. The speed effect was somewhat reduced at lower pressures, and the pressure effect was reduced at higher speeds.
