Bituminous Pavement Reinforcement with Fiber: A Review

This paper attempts to display, analyze and discuss the literature affiliated to the previous research data on road surfacing in pavement engineering reinforcement. In this paper, a review of the background and present status of road surfacing is also provided for supportive explanation of the significance of fiber-reinforced asphalt pavement HMA and its role in providing effective and durable surfacing for heavy-trafficked roads. The paper attempts to clarify some of the terms and notions related to the discussions to give the readers the needed background, to be able to actively understand the experiments and discussions. Results from many studies confirm that fiber specifically enhances the optimum bitumen content in the design of the mixture and halts the bitumen leakage due to its asphalt absorbing susceptibility. Fiber modifies the visco-elastic response, susceptibility against moisture, increase resistance to rutting, as well as lowers the pavement fatigue cracking.

Sensitivity Analysis of Determining the Material Parameters of an Asphalt Pavement to Measurement Errors in Backcalculations

Nondestructive tests of road pavements are among the most widely used methods of pavement condition diagnostics. Deflections of road pavement under a known load are most commonly measured in such tests, e.g., with the use of falling weight deflectometer (FWD). Measured values allow to determine the material parameters of the road structure, corresponding to the obtained results, by means of backcalculations. Among the factors that impact on the quality of results is the accuracy of deflection measurement. Deflection basins with small differences of displacement values may correspond to significantly different combinations of material parameters. Taking advantage of them for mechanistic calculations of road pavement may eventually lead to incorrect estimation of the remaining fatigue life and then inadequate selection of pavement reinforcement. This study investigated the impact of measurement errors on the change of the obtained values of stiffness moduli of flexible road pavement layers. Additionally, the influence of obtained material parameters on the values of key pavement strain, and consequently on its design fatigue life was presented.

Study of Divergences between Modelling and Site Works Applied to Geosynthetics Road Uses

Geosynthetics are commonly used in pavement reinforcement works. There are many references that show and quantify the benefits of their use, but not many of them discuss about their implementation on site. The aim of this paper is to identify the deviation between the empirical statements and the reality, that can be observed in field works. For that purpose, the different stages of several reinforcement operations have been monitored. The results show common execution mistakes that could make differ the properties measured on field from those obtained in the laboratory or mathematical models.

BRIDGE RE-DESIGN CLASS A COMPOSITE GIRDER (GIRDER BRIDGE CASE STUDY OF COMPOSITE CLASS C+) RANTAU BAKULA BANJAR DISTRICT

In Rantau Bakula village are its main bridge girder composite construction. Due to the condition of the existing bridge is felt not designed for vehicles with a large payload then re-design bridge girder composite with spans of 25 m and 9 m wide bridge.In this planning will be carried out load analyzes include: self weight, additional dead load (weight of asphalt and rainwater), load lane "D", pedestrian live load, brake force, load the truck "T", the wind load and earthquake load. Loading method refers to the imposition Standards For RSNI Bridge T-02-2005 whereas the method of structural design of composite bridges refers RSNI T-03-2005 Steel Structural Design For Bridge and SNI 03-1729-2002 on Procedures Design Steel Structures. From the planning to the pavement reinforcement obtained using principal reinforcement D 13-150 mm with shear D 13-90 mm. The main girder profiles used WF 900 x 300 x 16 x 32 and diaphragm WF 400 x 200 x 8 x 13 shear connector used stud with a size of 12 x 190 mm. The connection between girders using screws with a diameter of 20 mm. Abutment has a height of 2.75 m and a length of 10 m. Used caisson foundation amounted to 2 pieces with a length of 2 meters and a diameter of 3.5 m. Keywords: Rantau Bakula, bridge, girders, composite abutments, caisson.
