Abstract:This study investigates the establishment and calibration method of the rut depth (RD) prediction model of inverted asphalt pavements (IAPs), based on full-scale accelerated pavement testing (APT), which facilitates the accurate and reliable design or maintenance of IAPs. A power function is adopted for the prediction model construction of the rut progression before the failure stage, based on the typical permanent deformation progression curve of flexible pavements. The APT loading history is divided into uni… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
