In the theoretical design of pavement, strains that occur in pavement layers are obtained by a mechanical analysis and the number of years to fatigue failure is estimated based on the fatigue characteristics of materials. It is very important to accurately estimate the strain induced by traveling vehicles. In this research, the residual strain was measured in an indirect tension test, and calculation of strain from this measurement was studied. The strain generated in the asphalt mixture layer by traveling vehicles was calculated using multilayer elastic theory analysis, and a correction that considers residual strain was performed. The correction was examined by comparing the results with measured strain caused by traveling vehicles.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
