Development of new „Catalogue of typical flexible and semi-rigid pavement structures”

Abstract

This publication describes research and design works which were conducted at the Gdansk University of Technology for the purpose of development of new catalogue of typical flexible and semi-rigid pavement structures. The studies included: standardization of pavement structures terminology, study of foreign pavement structures catalogues and design methods, analysis of fatigue criteria for design of flexible and semi-rigid pavements, analysis of road traffic, based on weight in motion data, design of subgrade improvement, incorporation of new pavement materials, recycled and anthropogenic materials, determination of mechanistic parameters of materials and design of pavement structures using mechanistic-empirical methods of pavement design.
