Abstract
The main goal of the paper is to implement and evaluate the M-EPDG and the software AASHTOware to analyse the performance of new flexible and rigid pavements designed according to the Polish catalogues, which are comparable with analogous catalogues used in other European countries. For this purpose the site-specific inputs for Poland were determined and described in the paper as well as compared to the default input data used in the USA. Performance parameters delivered from M-EPDG were compared to limits of pavement distresses given in the Polish Pavement Condition Diagnostics system and confirmed good or acceptable level of distresses at the end of design period. Analysis indicated that several climatic zones for Poland should be considered for performance analysis both of flexible and rigid structures. The presented analysis can be the first stage on the way towards calibration of the M-EPDG models for Polish conditions and their adjustment to planning of maintenance treatments.
期刊介绍:
The quarterly journal Roads and Bridges – Drogi i Mosty is published by the Road and Bridge Research Institute since September 2012 as a bilingual English-Polish journal. From 2002 to 2012 the journal was printed under the title Drogi i Mosty. The journal mission is to promote current achievements in science and technology in the field of road and bridge engineering. The journal is intended as a forum of the exchange of innovative concepts and solutions between the researches from different countries. Original scientific and technical papers in the field of civil engineering and related engineering sciences are published. The scope of Roads and Bridges – Drogi i Mosty includes design, construction, maintenance and safe use of roads, bridges, airports and other transportation structures.
