Bearing Capacity of Roads, Railways and Airfields includes the contributions to the 10th International Conference on the Bearing Capacity of Roads, Railways and Airfields (BCRRA 2017, 28-30 June 2017, Athens, Greece). The papers cover aspects related to materials, laboratory testing, design, construction, maintenance and management systems of transport infrastructure, and focus on roads, railways and airfields. Additional aspects that concern new materials and characterization, alternative rehabilitation techniques, technological advances as well as pavement and railway track substructure sustainability are included. The contributions discuss new concepts and innovative solutions, and are concentrated but not limited on the following topics: · Unbound aggregate materials and soil properties · Bound materials characteritics, mechanical properties and testing · Effect of traffic loading · In-situ measurements techniques and monitoring · Structural evaluation · Pavement serviceability condition · Rehabilitation and maintenance issues · Geophysical assessment · Stabilization and reinforcement · Performance modeling · Environmental challenges · Life cycle assessment and sustainability Bearing Capacity of Roads, Railways and Airfields is essential reading for academics and professionals involved or interested in transport infrastructure systems, in particular roads, railways and airfields.

As AASH is expected to eventually adopt the MEPDG at its primary pavement design method, it is critical that the SDDOT become familiar with the MEPGD documentation and associated design software. The research conducted under this project was a first step toward achieving this goal.

This research evaluated the low temperature creep compliance and tensile strength properties of Wisconsin mixtures. Creep compliance and tensile strength data were collected for 16 Wisconsin mixtures representing commonly used aggregate sources and binder grades. Engineering and statistical analyses were performed on the data to provide recommendations for using measured mechanical properties in thermal cracking analyses with the Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide (MEPDG), and to evaluate the thermal fracture resistance of Wisconsin mixtures.

This guide provides guidance to calibrate the Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide (MEPDG) software to local conditions, policies, and materials. It provides the highway community with a state-of-the-practice tool for the design of new and rehabilitated pavement structures, based on mechanistic-empirical (M-E) principles. The design procedure calculates pavement responses (stresses, strains, and deflections) and uses those responses to compute incremental damage over time. The procedure empirically relates the cumulative damage to observed pavement distresses.
