Abstract:

The major outcome of this study is an algorithm for predicting the design modulus of each layer given the seismic modulus and the nonlinear parameters of each pavement layer. The algorithm developed has been incorporated in a software package called SMART (Seismic Modulus Analysis and Reduction Tool). In this report the results from the validation program carried out are addressed. More than a dozen sites were visited. The results from this validation indicate that the program is capable of providing reasonable values to design engineers. The procedure is particularly attractive in the situations where pavement layers are thin, depth to bedrock is shallow or when the water table is close to the pavement surface.
