overview of south african mechanistic pavement design method
Transportation Research Record, 1996Co-Authors: H L Theyse, M De Beer, F C RustAbstract:A historical overview of the South African mechanistic pavement design method, from its development in the early 1970s to the present, is presented. Material characterization, structural analysis, and pavement life prediction are discussed, and stiffness values are suggested for a range of Materials in the absence of measured values. The modes of failure for these Material types include the fatigue of Asphalt Material, deformation of granular Material, crushing and effective fatigue of lightly cemented Material, and deformation of selected and subgrade Material. The critical parameters and transfer functions for these Material types and modes of failure are discussed and included in the pavement life prediction process.

permanent deformation testing for a new south african mechanistic pavement design method
Construction and Building Materials, 2012Co-Authors: Joseph Anochieboateng, J W MainaAbstract:The South Africa National Road Agency Limited together with the CSIR are undertaking a research and development project to support the revision of the South African mechanistic-empirical pavement design method. An important part of this project is to develop test protocols for hot-mix Asphalt Materials. To date, no permanent deformation test is incorporated into South African pavement design guides. The objective of this paper is to present the development process of a repeated load axial permanent deformation test protocol and models using a standard South African hot-mix Asphalt Material. The developed test protocol and models provide guidelines, and make a significant contribution to pavement design in South Africa.
