Dense-graded aggregate base gradation influencing rutting model

Introduction. Rutting is the main performance indicator for unbound aggregate base/subbase layers in flexible pavements. Several of the widely used rutting models, such as the one used in the Pavement ME Design software by AASHTO, predict the permanent deformation accumulation in unbound aggregate layers based on resilient strains levels without giving any …

Use of Recycled Concrete Materials as Aggregate Base Layer

Resilient modulus of aggregate base layer is an important input parameter for the response analysis of flexible pavements in the Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide (MEPDG). Resilient behavior of unbound aggregate base (UAB) is significantly influenced by the aggregate physical properties, and thus good quality aggregate is desirable ...
