You can read online Strategies For The Application Of The Falling Weight Deflectomer To Evaluate Load Transfer Efficiency At Joints In Jointed Concrete Pavements and write the review.

The Falling Weight Deflectometer data for load transfer efficiency at joints in Jointed Concrete Pavement (JCP) must be properly analyzed and interpreted in order to prevent misleading results. Some parameters affecting pavement deflection are the pavement layer moduli, Poisson's ratios, thicknesses, and layer interaction. All of these must be considered to accurately "backcalculate" moduli from deflections. Joints add even more variables which affect the deflection measurement such as loss of support due to pumping at or near the joint. It is this parameter which will be discussed in this paper. First, a methodology for determining load transfer efficiency at a joint with subbase support will be given. Second the effects of loss of subbase support will be discussed and a methodology, with qualifications, given to determine load transfer at a joint that has loss of subbase support.
The proceedings of June 1993 international symposium held in Atlanta, Georgia, called specifically to develop and standardized evaluation procedures for non-destructive methods of testing pavements. The 29 papers discuss analytical models and techniques, measurement and calculation techniques in the field and laboratory, problems and errors associated with backcalculation methods and design parameters, and testing for other pavement uses. Also includes a history of the quest for a standard and the status of that effort. Reproduced from typescripts. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
This book is an outcome of the sixth conference on bearing capacity of roads and airfield held in Lisbon, Portugal. It focuses on railway tracks and covers following topics: bearing capacity policies, concepts, costs and condition surveys; analysis and modelling; design and environmental effects.
This second edition of Concrete Pavement Design, Construction, and Performance provides a solid foundation for pavement engineers seeking relevant and applicable design and construction instruction. It relies on general principles instead of specific ones, and incorporates illustrative case studies and prime design examples to highlight the material. It presents a thorough understanding of materials selection, mixture proportioning, design and detailing, drainage, construction techniques, and pavement performance. It also offers insight into the theoretical framework underlying commonly used design procedures as well as the limits of the applicability of the procedures. All chapters have been updated to reflect recent developments, including some alternative and emerging design technologies that improve sustainability. What’s New in the Second Edition: The second edition of this book contains a new chapter on sustainability, and coverage of mechanistic-empirical design and pervious concrete pavements. RCC pavements are now given a new chapter. The text also expands the industrial pavement design chapter. Outlines alternatives for concrete pavement solutions Identifies desired performance and behavior parameters Establishes appropriate materials and desired concrete proportions Presents steps for translating the design into a durable facility The book highlights significant innovations such as one is two-lift concrete pavements, precast concrete pavement systems, RCC pavement, interlocking concrete pavers, thin concrete pavement design, and pervious concrete. This text also addresses pavement management, maintenance, rehabilitation, and overlays.
