Mechanistic Permanent Deformation Model for Unbounded Pavement Materials
The principal objective of any pavement design procedure is to provide a structural system which will be suitable in a specific regional area and be able to sustain the anticipated traffic loading and frequency. In the study, the permanent deformation characteristics of five different base, subbase and subgrade materials were evaluated. The results of the investigation led to the development of a normalized predictive model of the plastic deformation. The model was found to be unique for each class of soil and independent of compaction, density, water content and stress-level. A significant finding of the study is that the permanent strain of any class material subjected to cyclic loadings could be predicted with high confidence level using the normalized predictive model.
