Assessment and modelling deterioration of flood affected asphalt pavements

The main aim of this research was to advance the knowledge and understanding of the impacts of extreme weather events, such as flooding, on pavement deterioration by assessing the damage caused by recent flooding events in Queensland and New South Wales, such as the January 2011 flood and 2013 floods. The other objective includes the development of mechanistic-empirical, deterministic-based pavement deterioration models for the prediction of rapid deterioration of structural and surface condition (rutting and roughness) of pavements impacted by river flooding or gradual increase in flood water. The original contribution of this research is the development of four mechanistic-empirical deterministic-based models to accurately predict the rapid deterioration of structural and surface conditions (rutting and roughness) of flood affected pavements. All the four models can be used to predict the rapid deterioration phase following flood events. The models are sufficiently robust to be calibrated for the local conditions. After calibration these models can be used in the pavement management systems (PMS) of the local road agencies. Moreover the methodology can be replicated by local road agencies in other countries that have flooding issues to predict the deterioration of flood-affected pavements and to improve the efficiency of the PMS.
