Abstract [en]

Sweden has initiated the development of a new calibrated-mechanistic pavement design procedure to replace the current mechanical-empirical pavement procedure entitled “PMS Objekt.” The first phase was focused on the implementation and calibration of the vi scoelastic fracture mechanics framework entitled “HMA Fracture Mechanics”, developed at the University of Florida. This paper outlines the implementation and calibration of a new pavement design module for Sweden that is based on the HMA fracture mechanics framework. Both the developed design module, as well as the reference model used for calibration (PMS Objekt) are presented in this paper. The results in thickness design after calibration of the design module indicate that the framework is clearly applicable for common Swedish conditions and design standards.

Abstract [en]

A thickness design module for flexible pavements, based on the HMA fracture mechanics framework, has been developed in order to design against premature failure caused by cracking. The HMA fracture mechanics based design module has been evaluated by designing typical Swedish pavements under typical Swedish climate and loading conditions and comparing the results with a reference design framework. The integrated set of material models predicting the necessary material strength- and creep compliance parameters for crack resistance evaluation within this framework has been evaluated against a number of field cores tested.

Results show that the design module developed is able to accurately predict cracking in Swedish flexible pavements, indicating that the principles behind the design procedure are fundamental and that the material models used are able to make qualitative predictions of the individual material properties used to estimates a mixtures’ resistance to cracking.
