The resilient modulus test procedure, as specified by the Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP) P07 protocol, is used to evaluate Oklahoma Department of Transportation (ODOT) types A, B, and G asphalt concrete mixes. Structural layer coefficients are estimated based on the resilient modulus test results. A full face dynamic compaction apparatus was designed and constructed to allow fabrication of large aggregate asphalt concrete samples. The dynamic compaction apparatus is compared with the Marshall and gyratory compaction techniques. A comparison of 4-, 6-, and 8-in. (10.2-, 15.2-, and 20.4-cm) specimens is presented as is a thorough statistical analysis of the material and test variability.

This design pamphlet details suggested procedures to determine the design resilient modulus of different pavement materials in support of the 1993 American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) Guide for the Design of Pavement Structures. These suggested procedures do consider the seasonal variation of resilient moduli to estimate structural layer coefficients for flexible pavement design.

This report presents the analysis conducted on relating pavement performance or response measures and design considerations to specific pavement layers utilizing data contained in the Long-Term Pavement Performance Program National Information Management System. The goal of this research activity was to enhance implementation and use of the 1993 AASHTO Design Guide through improved materials characterizations. Specifically, the focus of this research activity was to identify the differences that exist between laboratory measured and backcalculated resilient moduli; determine the applicability of the C values, drainage coefficients, and relative damage factors that are included in the Design Guide; and provide procedures to adequately consider the seasonal variation of material properties as related to flexible pavement designs. Based on these results, design pamphlets have been prepared in support of the AASHTO Design Guide. These design pamphlets are documented and included in other reports. The results reported here form the basis and background for those design pamphlets.

Seven flexible pavements ranging from interstate to state route are selected. Three different approaches are employed. The first two use the resilient modulus of the material to estimate its structural coefficient. In the first approach, cored specimens are obtained from each of the pavement sections and the resilient moduli of in-service 301 and 446/448 materials are determined in the laboratory. The second approach backcalculates layer elastic modulus from measured pavement deflection. The third approach determines the structural coefficient from the AASHTO flexible pavement performance equation based on traffic and serviceability history data.

Pack: Book and CDInternationally, full-scale accelerated pavement testing, either on test roads or linear/circular test tracks, has proven to be a valuable tool that fills the gap between models and laboratory tests and long-term experiments on in-service pavements. Accelerated pavement testing is used to improve understanding of pavement behavior,
