Accelerated Pavement Test to Evaluate the Performance of Concrete Reinforced with Metal Fibers
Whit the emergence of new materials and additives to improve the performance of road infrastructure it is necessary to evaluate, compare and validate the contribution of new materials in pavement performance. This document presents the evolution of the structural performance of a natural scale section constructed of concrete. The section is divided in two areas, the first area constructed with reinforced concrete with metal fibers and the second area constructed of plain concrete. The main purpose of the experiment is the knowledge about the contribution of the metallic fiber to the pavement performance. To accelerate the deterioration of the pavement, both areas were exposed to an accelerated application of damage with the HVS (Heavy Vehicle Simulator) device. To determine the structural evolution of the pavement, surface deformation sensors were installed and deflectometry tests were performed to determine the load transfer between slabs, maximum deflection, back calculation of elasticity modulus and others parameters, the evaluation of pavement performance was made every 500,000 equivalent axles of 80 kN.
