摘要: |
Over the years, pavement engineers have attempted to develop rational mechanistic-empirical (M-E) methods for predicting pavement performance. In fact, the next version of AASHTO's "Guide for Design of Pavements" is planned to be mechanistically based. Many M-E procedures have been developed on the basis of a combination of laboratory test data, theory, and limited field verification. Therefore, it is important to validate and calibrate these procedures using additional data from in-service pavements. The Long-Term Pavement Performance (LTPP) program data provide the means to evaluate and improve these models. A study was conducted to assess the performance of some of the existing concrete pavement M-E-based distress prediction procedures when used in conjunction with the data being collected as part of the LTPP program. Fatigue cracking damage was estimated using the NCHRP 1-26 approach and compared with observed fatigue damage at 52 GPS-3 test sections. It was shown that the LTPP data can be used successfully to develop better insight into pavement behavior and to improve pavement performance. |
