Design Principles for Flexible Pavements: A Computational Model for Granular Bases
Secondary raw materials are increasingly important in pavement engineering practice due to their availability and their structural behavior, which is better than the behavior of sand. This may lead to reduction of the asphalt thickness in the case of flexible pavements. To quantify this better structural behavior, experimental research has recently been carried out on these granular or slightly bound materials, and on full-scale test pavements with base layers containing these materials. The test results were not accessible for practical purposes thus far, because the existing more or less empirical design methods, all based on linear elasticity, did not suit. The aim of this thesis is to develop a structural analysis that is appropriate to interpreting the test results and understanding the structural behavior.
