Design Construction

The Louisiana Transportation Research Center has recently completed the construction of a full-scale pavement test facility using the accelerated loading facility (ALF) machine. This facility contains nine pavement test sections, 12-m (38-ft) long and 3.66-m (12-ft) wide that are loaded by the ALF machine with loads ranging from 34.71 to 111.25 kN (7,800 to 25,000 lbf) on a dual-tire assembly. The advantage of this testing facility is its ability to cause a pavement to fail in a short period of time. In addition, the data acquisition methods and instrumentation used in this testing facility allow researchers to obtain reliable and representative performance data. The first test section has been loaded to failure and a preliminary analysis of the data is completed. VESYS 3A-M, a microcomputer version of the VESYS series, has been selected for the analysis due to its ability to predict damage and its flexibility. The analysis consists of the primary response analysis to determine strains, stresses, and deflection of the pavement and damage-prediction modeling that includes rutting, fatigue cracking, and roughness. The analysis was conducted by comparing the data obtained from field with that predicted by VESYS 3A-M. The performance data obtained from the field include fatigue cracking, rutting, and roughness. The analysis showed that VESYS 3A-M outputs are in good agreement with those obtained from the field.

ABSTRACTA technique has been developed using 222Rn as a flow path monitor. Its principle advantage over other radiotracers or dyes is that while the Kd of Rn gas in water solution is zero and hence follows the water path, its 210Pb daughter is retained strongly by rock. The immobilized 210Pb is not subject to diffusion, an important consideration in the proposed Nevada Field Test. To evaluate the technique, a series of laboratory scale experiments have been performed. Artificial fissures consisting of glass plates and prepared flat surfaces were coupled to insure well characterized fissures. Water solutions of radiotracer were metered through these fissures and the discharge monitored to produce breakthrough curves as a function of flow rate. The rock surfaces were analysed for radionuclide concentration and the rock sectioned for diffusion profile into the rock.
