PAVEMENT DESIGN WITH THE PAVEMENT PRESSUREMETER . THIRD INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON BEARING CAPACITY OF ROADS AND AIRFIELDS. PROCEEDINGS, NORWEGIAN INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY, TRONDHEIM, NORWAY, JULY 3-5 1990. VOLUMES 1-2
This paper is a state-of-the-art presentation, including mathematical formulae, of the use of the pavement pressuremeter for pavement design; it emphasises results obtained in a 1984 study of its use by the Civil Engineering Department, Texas A & M University, USA. It discusses the following topics: (1) pavement design concepts; (2) the pavement pressuremeter; (3) calculation of modulus and limit pressure from the pavement pressuremeter; (4) the chart method of pavement design; (5) the load rating of pavements; (6) the soil modulus as a function of stress strain rate and cycles; (7) the pavement pressuremeter test; (8) obtaining moduli from the pavement pressuremeter test curve; (9) field experiments. The pavement pressuremeter was developed in 1976, and is now ready for commercial use. It has been shown that it is inexpensive, compared with the cyclic triaxial apparatus and the falling weight deflectometer, and that it can give the proper layer moduli to calculate small pavement deflections; alternatively, a chart method can be used. The pavement pressuremeter can also contribute to the load rating of existing pavements. (TRRL)
