Structural Characterization of Iowa's Rubblized PCC Pavements
Rubblization is considered one of the sustainable surface preparation techniques before placing a hot mix asphalt (HMA) overlay that involves breaking the concrete pavement into pieces. The design of the structural overlay thickness for rubblized projects is difficult as the resulting structure is neither a true rigid pavement nor a true flexible pavement. The most important aspect of the desig...
متن کاملFlexural Performance of High-strength Prestressed Concrete-encased Concrete-filled Steel Tube Sections
The sections composed of concrete and steel, which include concrete-encased concrete-filled tubes, generally have defects due to the low tensile strength of concrete. Therefore, an appropriate method was used for the combination of concrete-filled tubes (CFT) and prestressing strands which is encased in concrete. The conventional design guidelines are commonly developed for materials with norma...
متن کاملSensitivity analysis of rigid pavement systems using the mechanistic-empirical design guide software
Initiatives are underway to implement the new Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide (MEPDG) in Iowa. This paper focuses on the sensitivity study of Jointed Plain Concrete Pavements (JPCP) and Continuously Reinforced Concrete Pavements (CRCP) in Iowa using the MEPDG software. In this comprehensive study, the effect of MEPDG input parameters on the rigid pavement performance is evaluated us...
متن کاملNeural networks based models for mechanistic-empirical design of rubblized concrete pavements
Rubblization is an in-place rehabilitation technique that involves breaking the concrete pavement into pieces. This process results in a structurally sound, rut resistant base layer which prevents reflective cracking (by obliterating the existing concrete pavement distresses and joints) that can then be overlaid with Hot-Mix Asphalt (HMA). The design of the structural overlay thickness for rubb...
متن کاملEvaluation of Rough Set Theory for Decision Making of rehabilitation Method for Concrete Pavement
In recent years a great number of advanced theoretical - empirical methods has been developed for design & modeling concrete pavements distress. But there is no reliable theoretical method to be use in evaluation of conerete pavements distresses and making a decision about repairing them. Only empirical methods is used for this reason. One of the most usual methods in evaluating concrete paveme...
