Abstract:
The main goal of this study was to assess methodologies for the determination of base structural layer coefficients (SLCs) in Florida base materials. The aim was to streamline the traditional empirical and observationally based technique for determining layer coefficients either by an accelerated loading process or by the computer simulation of pavement performance. The paper describes a methodology in which the structural numbers (SN) of two paired test sections are used to backcalculate the unknown SLC. The SNs are determined from the AASHTO performance equation using a prediction of pavement performance from the University of Florida top-down cracking (TDC) model. The paper presents a positive application of the methodology for two test sections in Louisiana and two sections in Florida.
