Abstract
The inspection and monitoring of structural conditions are crucial for the maintenance of semi-rigid base pavement. To achieve the inverse calculation of material parameters and obtain the mechanical response of asphalt pavement, a method of modulus correction by reducing the error between tested and simulated strains was first developed. The relationship between the temperature at various depths within the pavement structure and atmospheric temperature was effectively demonstrated using a dual sinusoidal regression model. Subsequently, pavement monitoring data illustrated that as loading weight and temperature increased and loading speed decreased, the three-way strain of the asphalt layer increased. Thus, the relationship model between loading conditions and three-way strain was established with a good fitting degree (R2 > 0.95). The corrected modulus was obtained by approximating the error between simulated and measured strains. Then, the finite element analysis was performed to calculate key mechanical index values under various working conditions and predict the fatigue life of asphalt and base layers. Finally, ground-penetrating radar (GPR) detection was performed, and the internal pavement condition index was defined for quantitative assessment of structure conditions. The results show that there is a good correlation between the internal pavement condition index (IPCI) and remaining life of pavement structure. Therefore, our works solve the problems of the parameter reliability of pavement structures and quantitative assessment for structural conditions, which could support the performance prediction and maintenance analysis on asphalt pavement with a semi-rigid base.
