Abstract The objective of this study was to quantify pavement damage due to a conventional (385/65R22.5) and a new generation of wide-base (445/50R22.5) tires using three-dimensional (3D) finite element (FE) analysis. The investigated new generation of wide-base tires has wider treads and greater load-carrying capacity than the conventional wide-base tire. In addition, the contact patch is less sensitive to loading and is especially designed to operate at 690kPa inflation pressure at 121km/hr speed for full load of 151kN tandem axle. The developed FE models simulated the tread sizes and applicable contact pressure for each tread and utilized laboratory-measured pavement material properties. In addition, the models were calibrated and properly validated using field-measured stresses and strains. Comparison was established between the two wide-base tire types and the dual-tire assembly. Results indicated that the 445/50R22.5 wide-base tire would cause more fatigue damage, approximately the same rutting damage and less surface-initiated top-down cracking than the conventional dual-tire assembly. On the other hand, the conventional 385/65R22.5 wide-base tire, which was introduced more than two decades ago, caused the most damage.

Pavement Damage

Agricultural field equipment are typically equipped with wide single tires with particular tire tread and low inflation working pressures. Because of the significant differences with standard truck tires, the effect of flotation implement tire on pavement performance and load associated damage is likely to differ. This paper presents the results of an experimental research project where flotation tires were used to test the response of an instrumented flexible pavement built in an indoor test pit. The effect of load, tire pressure, and tire type was investigated as part of the study. Based on the collected results, the tire type and design greatly influence the pavement response. The critical and governing pavement damage mechanism was found to be subgrade structural rutting. Wide specialty tires were found to generally induce less damage than standard truck tires. A method for axle weight adjustment for wide farm tires was proposed as part of the project.

Pavement Damage

In this paper, road pavement collapses resulting from sewer leakage are divided into six categories: negligible, marginal, considerable, serious, very serious and catastrophic, with the categorization being based on two criteria, both related to traffic safety, i.e., the number of fatalities caused by sinkholes, and the extent of the road pavement damage. The causes of road pavement collapses are also discussed. The study involved analyzing the deterioration of sewer pipes with long service lives, focusing on the most common materials, i.e., concrete and vitrified clay. The results of the sewer inspections performed by the Kielce University of Technology suggest that the spot and linear defects detected in sewers of this type can be divided into three groups. The findings were used to formulate some recommendations on how to improve road traffic safety by preventing road pavement collapses.

Pavement Damage

The study of heavy vehicle forces on pavement is important for both vehicle and pavement. Indeed it was identified several factors such as environment, materials and design consideration affects pavement damage over time with traffic loads playing a key role in deterioration. Therefore, this paper presents dynamically varying tire pavement interaction load, thus enable to assess the strain response of pavements influenced by road roughness, truck suspension system, variation of axle loading and vehicle speed. A 100m pavement with good evenness was simulated to check the sensitivity of the dynamic loads and heavy truck vertical motions to the roughness. The most important performance indicators that are required in pavement distress evaluation are radial strain at the bottom of the asphalt concrete and vertical strain at the subgrade surface was predicted using peak influence function approach. The results show that truck speed is the most important variables that interact with truck suspension system and thus effect of loading time are extremely important when calculating the critical.

Abstract Externalities of the road transportation are multidimensional in nature and involve the road-vehicle interaction under different environmental conditions. Estimating the pavement and vehicle damage potentials as a function of the conditions under which such interaction takes place, is important to avoid accelerated or catastrophic damages in these systems. Such an assessing is crucial from the perspective of pricing the effects of the vehicle on the infrastructure and vice versa. The existing models for pricing such interaction, critically depends on gross average statistical models. In this paper, it is proposed a deterministic approach to realize such an assessment, based upon validated approaches for the pavement damage. The simulation scheme considers different degrees-of-freedom vehicle models, and a discrete asphalt pavement, that make possible the simulation of massive traffic situations on realistic road lengths.
