HIPAVE: a mechanistic design tool for heavy-duty industrial pavements

HIPAVE (Heavy Industrial PAVEment design) is for the mechanistic analysis and design of flexible pavements subjected to the extremely heavy wheel loads associated with freight handling vehicles in industrial facilities, in particular, intermodal container terminals. This paper presents the development and advantages of using HIPAVE, over simpler layered elastic tools and empirical chart based methods, to design pavements. HIPAVE has been used for the design of the Crawford Street intermodal container handling facility in Hamilton, New Zealand. This design was complicated by a weak subgrade and height restrictions for the pavement surface. This Crawford Street example demonstrates the efficiencies for designers offered by HIPAVE and the enhanced ability to consider options and conduct 'what if analyses.
