The coupling effect between tire and pavement is an intensively researched subject to analyse the dynamic interaction of the vehicle-pavement system. By considering the 11.00 R20 tire and expressway asphalt pavement, ABAQUS software was employed in this study to establish an improved model for simulating the coupling effect, in which the tire rubber was taken as a neoHookean material and the pa...

this paper is a case study of the cause of distress and evaltion of main runway (29 l-ll r) of mahrabad international airport in 1320 , this run way was built (1800 length & 60 width ) from pcc for small aircrafts. later on 1329 and 13 39 the length of this run way was inc reased to 3000 m and 4000m , respectedly was increased to 3000m and 4000m,respectedly .since 1320, this run wa y h a s bee ...

Rubblization is one of the surface preparation techniques before placing a Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) overlay that involves breaking the Portland Cement Concrete (PCC) pavement into pieces. This paper describes the structural assessment related to the long term performance of rubblized concrete pavements in Iowa. The structural performance of seven representative in-service rubblized concrete paveme...

in this study, an artificial neural network was developed in order to analyze flexible pavement structure anddetermine its critical responses under the influence of standard axle loading. in doing so, more than 10000four-layered flexible pavement sections composed of asphalt concrete layer, base layer, subbase layer, andsubgrade soil were analyzed under the impact of standard axle loading. pave...

In this study, Gene Expression Programming (GEP) is used in modeling the deflection basins measured on the surface of the flexible pavements. Backcalculation of the pavement layer moduli are well-accepted procedures for the evaluation of the structural capacity of pavements. The ultimate aim of the backcalculation process from Nondestructive Testing (NDT) results is to estimate the pavement mat...

In-service pavement requires maintenance, it may be routine in nature, or major reconstruction. A is designed for an assumed period, after the expiry of design likely to fail structurally and therefore, would require a renewal extend life further. Even within service pavement, top wearing course subjected considerable distress due movement vehicles on it. Thus needs some Maintenance smooth move...

To measure stiffness of the compacted pavement, practitioners use the Compaction Meter Value (CMV); a ratio between the amplitude for the first harmonic of the compactor’s acceleration and the amplitude corresponding to the vibration frequency. Numerous experiments show that CMV is highly correlated with the pavement stiffness, but as of now, there is no convincing theoretical explanation for t...
