Pavement analysis and design

摘要: This is a textbook on the structural analysis and design of highway pavements. It presents theory pavement reviews methods developed by several organizations, such as American Association State Highway Transportation Officials (AASHTO), Asphalt Institute (AI), Portland Cement (PCA). can be used for an undergraduate course skipping appendices or advanced graduate including them. The book organized in 13 chapters. Chapter 1 introduces historical development design, major road tests, various factors, differences concepts among pavements, airport railroad trackbeds. 2 discusses stresses strains flexible 3 KENLAYER computer program, based Burmister's layered theory, theoretical developments, program description, comparison with available solutions, sensitivity effect factors responses. 4 deflections rigid pavements due to curling, loading, friction, well dowels joints. Influence charts determining are also presented. 5 KENSLABS finite element method, analysis. 6 concept equivalent single-wheel single-axle loads prediction traffic. 7 describes material characterization mechanistic-empirical determination resilient modulus, fatigue permanent deformation properties, modulus subgrade reaction. 8 outlines subdrainage general principles, drainage materials, procedures. 9 performance distress, serviceability, skid resistance, nondestructive testing, evaluation performance. 10 illustrates reliability which variabilities traffic, material, geometric parameters all taken into consideration.
