IMPACTS OF DESIGN AND MATERIAL QUALITY ON PAVEMENT RUTTING PROGRESSION

摘要: Infrastructure deterioration is influenced by a multitude of factors including design and construction quality. This paper focuses on quantifying the impacts such initial condition variables life-cycle performance. Although in previous research an analysis framework for investigating was developed, quantitative results were inconclusive due to data model limitations. In this study rutting progression that explicitly captures material quality used whereby effects these rut depth evolution over time are analyzed terms. The turn motivate future understanding significant temporal tradeoffs infrastructure provision.
