Abstract:

Rutting is one of the major distress types in flexible pavements. This type of distress results from a combination of densification, viscoplastic and shear deformation in one or more pavement layers. The flow number (FN) test is known to be a good indicator of rutting susceptibility of Asphalt Concrete (AC). The FN test results can also be used to calibrate the rutting model coefficients of the AASHTOWare Pavement ME software. The objectives of this study were to: (i) investigate the rutting characteristics of asphalt mixtures commonly used in Michigan, (ii) obtain local calibration coefficients (βr1, βr2 and βr3) for the rutting model used in Pavement ME, and (iii) make recommendations on the use of these factors.
