Concept explainers

Pavement Management

Pavement management is the process of planning the maintenance and repair of a roadway network or other paved infrastructure to improve road conditions throughout the network. It is also used on runways and airports. Every highway superintendent undertakes walkway management. Traffic management includes the cost of living cycles in a systematic way of repairing minor and major roads and reconstruction projects. The needs of the entire network and budget estimates are considered before the projects are undertaken, as the cost of data collection can change significantly. Pavement management incorporates many of the features and functions required to maintain the quality of the paved material as well as to ensure that the entire road network can sustain itself at the required levels. Although pedestrian management involves the life cycle of commuting from planning to maintenance of any transport infrastructure, road asset management, and road maintenance planning is primarily aimed at road infrastructure.

How sensitive are the critical pavement responses to (a) increased tire pressure, (b) increased subgrade strength, (c) Poisson's ratio changes, (d) lime stabilization of top 6 in. of subgrade, (e) asphalt or cement stabilization of base layer, etc.?
A rigid pavement is designed with a 11-inch slab, an E_c of 6 million Ib/in^2, a concrete modulus of rupture of 432 Ib/in^2, a load transfer coefficient of 3.0, an initial PSI of 4.50, and a TSI of 2.5. The overall standard deviation is 0.56, the modulus of subgrade reaction is 190 Ib/in^3, and a reliability of 90% is used along with a drainage coefficient of 0.87. The pavement is designed assuming that traffic is composed entirely of trucks (50 per day). Each truck has one 20-kip single axle and one 42-kip tandem axle (the effect of all other vehicles is ignored). A section of this road is to be replaced (due to different subgrade characteristics) with a flexible pavement having a SN of 5 and is expected to last the same number of years as the rigid pavement. What is the assumed soil resilient modulus? (Assume that all other factors are the same as for the rigid pavement). Please report your answer as a decimal in units of Ib/in^2. For example, report 3000.6 Ib/in^2 as 3000.6.
