RUT DEPTH PREDICTION AND TEST PROCEDURES FOR PERMANENT DEFORMATION IN ASPHALT PAVEMENTS (ABRIDGEMENT)

This article appeared in Transportation Research Record No. the basis for the current version of the VESYS II M rut Embankment on Varved Clays, and Foundations. incremental creep tests are presented. The rutting predicted by the VESYS II M structural subsystem is in good agreement with the observed on 2 experimental pavement sections. The close agreement between the results of the incremental creep tests and the interrupted repeated load tests and the simpler incremental creep test could be used in lieu of continuous repeated load tests to determine the rutting behavior of asphalt concrete at temperatures above 21 deg C (70 deg F). A fundamental creep law that separates the recoverable from the nonrecoverable strain was developed. Such a law can be modified to include temperature and stress effects and can be included in any structural subsystem for the prediction of rutting.
