Analytical assessment of the impact of material properties on the performance of flexible and composite highway pavements in Flanders

The configuration of pavement material has an important impact on pavement performance. Several different pavement material configurations are used in Flanders. This paper aims to determine which pavement configuration is economically interesting and performs well on two types of pavement damages: fatigue cracking and rutting. This is investigated by creating seven flexible and composite pavement configurations according to SB250. The methodology is based on a damage analysis performed for fatigue cracking and rutting on the pavement configurations using the 3D-Move analysis software. The resu... Mehr ...
