International Case Studies in Support of Successful Applications of Accelerated Pavement Testing in Pavement Engineering

Accelerated Pavement Testing (APT) offers a unique proven methodology to investigate perfor- mance of different material and pavement structures under various conditions. Case studies using Mobile Load Simulator (MLS) equipment provide well-documented information in support of this statement. The interna- tional selection of typical cases provides pavement engineers (and managers) insight into some of the lessons learned and application of the knowledge gained in respect of distress and failure mechanisms. Case studies from China, Europe, and United States are presented. These cover applications of asphalt materials including pavement surfacing, stone matrix asphalt, Guss asphalt, and full-depth asphalt. Trafficking under wet and dry as well as artificially heated conditions, are discussed. Structural compositions include a steel bridge deck surfacing, a full-scale and comparative scaled pavement, and a sandy subbase subjected to the influence of a high water table. The paper reports on a synthesis of facets of analyses and findings from the case studies including both laboratory and field applications.
