Abstract:

The work contained in this interim report provides a case study describing the design, construction, initial structural evaluation, and performance predictions of the full-depth perpetual pavement constructed on SH 114 in the Fort Worth District. Based on the research findings, recommended improvements to design and construction practices are proposed. The research methodology and scope of work included data collection, laboratory and field testing, computational simulations, and performance predictions. Laboratory testing for characterizing the asphalt mixture properties included the Hamburg, the Overlay Tester, Dynamic Modulus, and Repeated Load Permanent Deformation tests. Asphalt-binder testing was accomplished with the Troxler Ignition Oven and the Dynamic Shear Rheometer, respectively. Field testing involved visual surveys, coring, infra-red quality control tests, forensic investigations, and non-destructive performance evaluations using Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) and Falling Weight Deflectometer (FWD) measurements. Computational analyses included the FPS, PerRoad, VESYS, and MEPDG software.
