Modelling the permanent deformation of unbound granular materials in pavements
An existing permanent deformation (PD) model for the unbound granular materials (UGMs) in pavements, developed based on multistage (MS) repeated load triaxial (RLT) tests, was modified to better suit to field conditions and software applications. The model was calibrated for a few UGMs with a series of moisture contents (w) using MS (to include the stress-history effect) RLT tests and was validated by predicting the PD under different sets of stress levels and w's. Generally, it exhibited improved predictions over the Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide (MEPDG) model. The model was further applied for field conditions and was implemented in a pavement design software entitled ERAPave PP, using data from accelerated testing of three structures employing a heavy vehicle simulator (HVS). Based on additional MS RLT tests, a guideline for the ranges of the material parameters for different types of UGMs was presented.
