Innovations in Road, Railway and Airfield Bearing Capacity – Volume 3 comprises the third part of contributions to the 11th International Conference on Bearing Capacity of Roads, Railways and Airfields (2022). In anticipation of the event, it unveils state-of-the-art information and research on the latest policies, traffic loading measurements, in-situ measurements and condition surveys, functional testing, deflection measurement evaluation, structural performance prediction for pavements and tracks, new construction and rehabilitation design systems, frost affected areas, drainage and environmental effects, reinforcement, traditional and recycled materials, full scale testing and on case histories of road, railways and airfields. This edited work is intended for a global audience of road, railway and airfield engineers, researchers and consultants, as well as building and maintenance companies looking to further upgrade their practices in the field.

This guide provides guidance to calibrate the Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide (MEPDG) software to local conditions, policies, and materials. It provides the highway community with a state-of-the-practice tool for the design of new and rehabilitated pavement structures, based on mechanistic-empirical (M-E) principles. The design procedure calculates pavement responses (stresses, strains, and deflections) and uses those responses to compute incremental damage over time. The procedure empirically relates the cumulative damage to observed pavement distresses.

FPS 19 is the latest version of the flexible pavement design system developed by the Texas Transportation Institute for TxDOT. This version uses backcalculated elastic moduli of the pavement layer materials in the pavement design process. The MODULUS 5.1 backcalculation procedure generates the input layer moduli. The WESLEA linear elastic computer program, embedded within FPS 19, computes pavement responses. The design equation used is the same as used in FPS 11 and documented in TTI Report 32-11. The main design parameter is the Surface Curvature Index computed at the midpoint of a set of dual tires loaded to 40 Kn (9,000 lbs). FPS 19 is microcomputer-based and compatible with MS-DOS Windows 95 and Windows NT when running under the DOS window. TxDOT is implementing the FPS 19 computer program statewide as part of its new flexible pavement design system.

This textbook lays out the state of the art for modeling of asphalt concrete as the major structural component of flexible pavements. The text adopts a pedagogy in which a scientific approach, based on materials science and continuum mechanics, predicts the performance of any configuration of flexible roadways subjected to cyclic loadings. The authors incorporate state-of the-art computational mechanics to predict the evolution of material properties, stresses and strains, and roadway deterioration. Designed specifically for both students and practitioners, the book presents fundamentally complex concepts in a clear and concise way that aids the roadway design community to assimilate the tools for designing sustainable roadways using both traditional and innovative technologies.
