Recent advances in flexible pavement design have prompted agencies to move toward the development and use of mechanistic-empirical (M-E) design procedures. The purpose of this paper is to analyze seasonal trends in flexible pavement layer moduli in order to calibrate a mechanistic-empirical design procedure specific to Minnesota. The relationships investigated were between climate factors, surface and subsurface conditions, and pavement material properties. The results presented focus on the base and subgrade layers and show that the layer moduli vary with the state of moisture in the pavement. The data used to develop this approach were collected from four flexible pavement Long Term Pavement Performance Seasonal Monitoring Program sites (LTPP SMP) and the Minnesota Road Research Project (Mn/ROAD). Temperature data are used in this study to characterize the severity of a winter and to approximate the onset of freezing and thawing cycles. Finally, seasonal trends in pavement layer moduli were quantified for use in an M-E design of flexible pavements.

The Falling Weight Deflectometer (FWD) is become a popular device for measuring deflection basins used for backcalculation of layered elastic properties of pavements systems. It was used to study the seasonal variation of asphalt pavements in the severe climatic conditions met in Quebec. FWD tests were carried out on five road sections, located on the north shore of the St-Lawrence River between Quebec and Trois-Riviáeres, and selected on the base of one granular and four cohesive subgrade soils. Each site was generally characterized by four boreholes and visual observations and also equipped with one frostprobe and two piezometers. FWD deflection tests were conducted at regular time intervals over a one year period initiated in November 1993. The backcalculated moduli were determined with the VIEM and VIEMBACK programs developed by the National Research Council of Canada. This paper discussed some of the research findings obtained from three sites. The use of the backcalculation approach for quantifying seasonal variations in subgrade stiffness due to environmental changes is promising. In spite of the fact that the frost depth is more important in the granular subgrade with 2,6 m, the backcalculated subgrade modulus was found constant after the thaw period up to the beginning of the cold time in December. In the other cases with cohesive subgrade and frost depth of 1,6 m, the backcalculated subgrade stiffness have shown a significant reduction upon thawing, followed by a gradual recovery in time. The seasonal effects on long term performance have been evaluated with structural life model simulation. Relative damage factors have been determined in term of fatigue failure and permanent deformation to take into account in the design of flexible pavements.

The objective of this research project was to evaluate and quantify the effect of seasonal variation in material properties on the deflections measured with the Falling Weight Deflectometer (FWD). The study was initiated to quantify the effects of moisture content of subgrade soil and pavement temperature on the structural response of the pavement. The data collected from October 1993 to September 1994 at each site included deflections using a Dynatest 8000 FWD, pavement surface and air temperatures while conducting FWD tests, monthly precipitation and average air temperature for five days preceding the FWD tests and moisture content in the subgrade using principles of time domain reflectometry (TDR).

Download Variations in Backcalculated Pavement Layer Moduli in LTPP Seasonal Monitoring Sites Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
Seasonal variations in structural parameters were calculated from Falling Weight Deflectometer data on 25 LTPP flexible seasonal monitoring sections. In all, 23,976 deflection basins were analyzed. The deflection basins were collected monthly between the fall of 1993 and the spring of 1995. The test locations were distributed around North America from Saskatchewan to South Texas and from Idaho to Maine. The sections all consisted of asphalt surfacing and granular bases (and some granular subbases) over subgrades. Asphalt thicknesses ranged from 46 to 277\mm. Seasonal variations observed on selected sections in this database and documented in this paper include variations in asphaltic materials with temperature, variations in moduli of the unbound materials with precipitation, and variations in moduli of unbound materials due to freeze/thaw. For moderately thick to thick asphalt sections (>125 mm) the temperature dependency can clearly be seen in the deflection basins. As expected, this variation in deflections, and AC modulus is sinusoidal over the year. The amplitude of the sinusoidal variations were found to be heavily influenced by the thickness of the AC layer. Thicker AC sections exhibited higher sinusoidal variations. Base and subgrade values tended to be influenced by temperature but remained more consistent throughout the year except in cases where freezethaw effects were seen. During freeze conditions, the moduli of the unbound (base and subgrade) layers drastically increased.
