Pavement Design for Local Roads and Streets |
摘要: |
The primary goal of this proposal is to develop a simple to use tool that would allow a local agency to develop a mechanistic-empirical design for lower volume (<1,000 vpd) highways. The primary focus would be for pavement overlays and rehabilitation. The current tools available use older empirical only methodologies or require overly complicated data inputs. The requires working with local agencies to understand their capacity for data collection; determination of the critical factors that can be accounted for by a local agency; factors that are not available and need to be set up as defaults; and the allowable error of a local pavement design.
The final product will be a tool in spreadsheet form that would allow a highway manager without engineering background to determine a reasonable pavement design. The tool will also provide information on when a professional engineer should be involved due to site conditions, traffic, or other critical factors. The final design tool will be shared with the entire local highway community. |
