THE THEORY OF VISCOELASTIC TWO-LAYER SYSTEMS AND CONCEPTION OF ITS APPLICATION TO THE PAVEMENT DESIGN

THE RESULT OF ANALYSIS FOR VISCOELASTIC TWO-LAYER SYSTEMS DEVELOPED FORMERLY BY THE AUTHOR WAS RE-EXAMINED AND SUPPLEMENTED BY SOME ADDITIONAL NUMERICAL RESULTS. IN ORDER TO INCORPORATE THE THEORY INTO THE PRACTICAL APPLICATION, A CONCEPTION WAS INTRODUCED ALONG WITH A METHOD THAT ENABLES THE VISCOELASTIC CONSTANTS OF A SUBSTANCE TO BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TIME OF LOADING AT WHICH A PAVEMENT IS SUBJECTED TO AN EXTERNAL LOAD. WITH THE USE OF THE PROPOSED THEORY, THE EFFECT OF VEHICLE SPEED ON THE PAVEMENT BEHAVIOR WAS ANALYZED FOR THE TEST DATA OF THE AASHO ROAD TEST. THE PROPOSED CONCEPTION WHICH REVEALS A QUALITATIVE COINCIDENCE WITH THE ACTUAL DATA SUGGESTS A DIRECTION TOWARDS A DYNAMIC DESIGN OF PAVEMENT. /AUTHOR/
