Abstract
The paper describes a pilot study in Denmark with the main
objective of developing improved mechanistic deterioration models
for flexible pavements based on an accelerated full scale test on
an instrumented pavement in the Danish Road Tessting Machine. The
study was the first in "International Pavement Subgrade
Performance Study" sponsored by the Federal Highway Administration
(FHWA), USA. The paper describes in detail the data analysis and
the resulting models for rutting, roughness, and a model for the
plastic strain in the subgrade.The reader will get an
understanding of the work needed to be done to be succesful in
establishing mechanistic models based on Accelerated Load Testing
(ALT) complemented by laboratory testing.
