First Findings from the Kansas Perpetual Pavements Experiment
(Transportation Research Board of the National Academies, 2008)
To investigate the suitability of the perpetual pavements concept for
Kansas highway pavements, the Kansas Department of Transportation
(KDOT) constructed four thick, flexible pavement structures on a new
alignment on ...
Field Verification of Superpave Dynamic Modulus
(Journal of Materials in Civil Engineering, 2010-05)
In the mechanistic-empirical pavement design guide, prediction of flexible pavement response and performance needs an input
of dynamic modulus of hot-mix asphalt at all three levels of hierarchical inputs. This study was ...
Experience with Thin Superpave Mixture Overlay of Small Aggregate Top Size in Kansas
(National Research Council, 2011-01)
Superpave® asphalt mixture with small (4.75-mm) nominal maximum aggregate size (NMAS) is a promising, low-cost pavement preservation treatment for rural roads. This mixture has the potential to provide a smooth riding ...
Seasonal and Spatial Variation of Subgrade Response
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2000)
Temperature, subgrade moisture content, and Falling Weight Defleetometer
(FWD)-deflection data were collected monthly on four asphalt pavement test sections
in Kansas for a year. The subgrade moduli were baekealeulated ...
Comparison of Moduli of Kansas
(Transportation Research Board of the National Academies, 2010)
Currently, hot-mix asphalt (HMA) mixture design and pavement structural
design are not fully integrated, although Superpave® asphalt mixture
design is somewhat project specific. The objective of this study was to
compare ...
Development of Traffic Inputs for the New ME Pavement Design Guide: A Case Study
(National Research Council, 2011-01)
Vehicle classification and axle load data are required for the structural
design of new and rehabilitated flexible and rigid pavements with the
new Mechanistic–Empirical Pavement Design Guide (MEPDG) developed
under ...
THE FIRST FULL-SCALE ACCELERATED PAVEMENT TEST IN LOUISIANA: DEVELOPMENT AND FINDINGS
(1999)
The Pavement Research Facility in Port Allen, Louisiana houses the first full-scale accelerated
pavement testing experiment in the state. The purpose of the first experiment was to evaluate the
historically prevalent ...
