Title: MECHANISTIC PERFORMANCE MODEL FOR PAVEMENT MANAGEMENT
Accession Number: 00648150
Record Type: Component
Digital Copy: Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: A framework for a pavement management system employing mechanistic performance submodels for pavement behavior is presented. These performance submodels explain the development of the physical distresses in fundamental terms. This approach enables the individual distress modes to be addressed in pavement management strategies. It also forms the basis for a dynamic programming optimization scheme. The performance submodels are based on a reliability formulation incorporating full-distribution uncertainty information of the variables. They provide the transition probabilities for the optimization that determines the optimal strategy for rehabilitation from a set of alternatives subjected to management and operational constraints. The optimization also yields the expected annual performance in terms of the distresses and the expected capital outlay required to implement the strategy.
Supplemental Notes: The proceedings of the Third International Conference on Managing Pavements is published in three volumes. Volumes 1 and 2, published prior to the conference, include papers to be presented at the conference. Volume 3, published after the conference, contains additional papers presented at the plenary and workshop sessions.
