| Abstract: | Masters Degree Thesis: HL Theyse - The development of mechanistic-empirical permanent subgrade deformation models from heavy vehicle simulator data.
The work was aimed at improving the accuracy of one of the components of a flexible pavement design procedure commonly used in South Africa, namely the South African Mechanistic-Empirical Design Method (SAMDM). This was achieved through the development of a new design approach and permanent deformation model for the pavement subgrade. The new distress model for the pavement subgrade was developed from a comprehensive Accelerated Pavement Testing (APT) database on subgrade behaviour and permanent deformation that was generated by a fleet of Heavy Vehicle Simulators (HVSs) over 20 years of testing in South Africa. |
