Evaluation of the environmental conditioning system as a water sensitivity test for asphalt concrete mixturesAllen, Wendy L. 18 May 1993 (has links)
The Environmental Conditioning System (ECS) was designed to evaluate the
water sensitivity of asphalt concrete mixtures. The ECS subjects asphalt concrete specimens to a series of conditioning cycles including water flow, elevated and/or lowered temperature, and repeated axial loading. The purpose of this research was to: (1) evaluate the ECS test apparatus and procedure, and (2) determine whether the ECS can identify asphalt concrete mixtures that will perform well, or poorly, in the field with regard to water sensitivity.
Twelve primary field test sections were identified. For each section, specimens were prepared in the laboratory using the original mix design (or the mix design identified by extraction), and the original aggregates, asphalts, and admixtures. Specimens were tested using two procedures: the ECS and the Oregon State University (OSU) wheel tracker. Field cores were used to evaluate in-situ mixture performance. Nine additional mixtures that have historically experienced water damage were tested in a limited secondary test program.
Analyses were performed to determine the mixture properties that were
significant in the prediction of mixture performance in the ECS. Mixture type was consistently the most significant predictor of ECS modulus ratio (change in mixture stiffness), degree of visual stripping, and binder migration, which were the performance indicators for water sensitivity evaluated in the ECS. Additional analysis indicated the existence of correlations among the ECS response variables. Significant correlations were found between the coefficient of water permeability and the degree
of visual stripping; and between specimen deformation and the degree of visual stripping and binder migration.
Mixture performance was compared between the ECS and the OSU wheel tracker and the field. Results indicate that the ECS test procedure can distinguish the relative performance of mixtures, with regard to water sensitivity, and mixture performance in the ECS correlates well with performance in the OSU wheel tracker. No correlation was found between mixture performance in the ECS and mixture performance in the field for the primary test sections. However, the primary field sections are relatively young, and water damage is expected to manifest itself in the future in those pavements identified as water sensitive by the ECS. The ECS predicted failure in the secondary mixtures which were identified as having had poor performance with regard to water sensitivity. / Graduation date: 1994

Analysis of thermal fatigue distress of asphalt concrete pavementsJackson, N. Mike (Nathaniel Michael) 17 June 1992 (has links)
Thermal cracking of asphalt concrete pavements is responsible for millions
of dollars in annual maintenance and rehabilitation costs in the United States and
Canada. Thermal cracking is typically associated with low temperatures in
northern climates and at high elevations. However, another form of thermal
cracking, known as thermal fatigue cracking, has been proposed by several
researchers as a potential mode of distress in regions with relatively moderate
climates but significant differences in high and low daily temperatures.
The primary purpose of the research reported herein was to evaluate the
possibility of occurrence of the thermal fatigue cracking mode of distress. A
secondary objective was to identify a suitable laboratory test procedure to facilitate
a mechanistic analysis of the thermal fatigue mode of distress. In light of these
objectives, several laboratory test procedures were evaluated in the bituminous
materials laboratory at Oregon State University (OSU). The test procedures
evaluated included the phenomenological Thermal Stress Restrained Specimen Test
(TSRST), the Energy Rate Integral Test (ERIT), the Direct Tension Test under
constant rate of extension (DTT), and the Direct Tensile Creep Test (DTCT). The
TSRST results were used to evaluate the possibility of occurrence of the thermal
fatigue mode of distress. The ERIT, DTT, and DTCT procedures were evaluated
with respect to the identification of a suitable laboratory test procedure to facilitate
a mechanistic analysis of thermal fatigue.
The results from the laboratory test program indicate that thermal fatigue
distress in asphalt concrete mixtures is not a viable mode of distress in the absence
of environmental aging. Based on the data presented herein and the results of
previous researchers, it is evident that distress often attributed to thermal fatigue
cracking is more likely the result of low temperature cracking of environmentally
aged mixtures, and/or subgrade-related distress; fatigue distress due to thermal
loading of semi-restrained pavements does not occur. / Graduation date: 1993
