Abstract:Highway pavements deteriorate over time as successive wheel loads cause rutting, cracking, texture loss, and so forth. Design standards and pavement performance models account for some of the known contributory factors, such as levels of traffic and vehicle composition. However, such models are limited in their predictive power, and highway authorities must conduct regular pavement condition surveys rather than relying on the standard deterioration models alone. The ways in which multiple factors affect paveme… Show more
