  2. FWD Viewer Tool with TONN 2010 and Overlays Background – Application - Case Study Fall 2013 – Spring 2014 Dr. W. James Wilde, P.E. Professor, Minnesota State University Director, Center for Transportation Research and Implementation Mankato, Minnesota Where the Research Hits the Road.

  3. Outline Basic Tool Operation Overlay Method Technical Background Case Studies Tips for Requesting FWD Testing Troubleshooting

  4. Statewide FWD Testing Tier 1 Testing 3,431 Road Segments 8,887 Miles 90,559 Test Locations 366,832 FWD Drops Structural Capacity < 9 Tons 9-10 Tons > 10 Tons

  5. FWD Viewer Tool Individual county tools are available on the State Aid web site.

  6. Statewide Data *Locations without complete pavement information are not included.

  7. Outline Basic Tool Operation

  8. Basic Tool Operation Initial View Initial view Version numbers Major functions – instructions, settings, traffic, overlay, print Roadway Segment Selection Data Display

  16. Basic Tool Operation Revised TONN 2010 Computations

  17. Basic Tool Operation Revised TONN 2010 Computations

  18. Basic Tool Operation Sample Printed Report

  19. Basic Tool Operation User Settings

  20. Basic Tool Operation File Locations Must change Excel Macro Security settings temporarily.

  21. Basic Tool Operation Temporarily Suspend Security Settings File/Options/Trust Center/Trust Center Settings/Macro Settings/ Check “Trust access to the VBA project object model” Click OK, then OK again Change the file location Go back to Macro Settings and Uncheck “Trust access to…”

  22. Basic Tool Operation User-Defined Traffic

  23. Basic Tool Operation User-Defined Traffic If modifications are made to the traffic entries, TONN 2010 must be recomputed to ensure current information. This can take several minutes depending on the roadway length and computer speed.

  24. Outline Overlay Method

  25. Overlay Method Send Selected Segment to Overlay Design Module

  26. Overlay Method User Options

  27. Overlay Method Check Segment Consistency

  28. Overlay Method Check Segment Consistency

  29. Overlay Method Divide into Analysis Segments

  30. Overlay Method Data Evaluation • As always, consider localized full-depth repairs.

  31. Overlay Method Results 80% Reliability

  32. Overlay Method Results 95% Reliability

  33. Overlay Method What is the Proper Reliability Level? • AASHTO Levels of Reliability Guide for Design of Pavement Structures, AASHTO, 1993

  34. Overlay Method Variability and Reliability The segment on the left has higher variability than the one on the right.

  35. Overlay Method Variability and Reliability Since reliability is tied to the variability of the segment, higher variability leads to lower expected TONN rating. If we are not as sure of the predicted results we can’t make claims of higher TONN ratings.

  36. Outline Technical Background

  37. Technical Background TONN 2010 • Spring Load Capacity • Work by Dr. Lev Khazanovich • Based on Damage Models • Fatigue Cracking • Subgrade Permanent Deformation • Base Failure

  38. Technical Background TONN 2010 • MnPAVE models were selected after evaluating many others • MnPAVE is a mechanistic-empirical design procedure • Calibrated to Minnesota low volume roads • Requires fewer inputs than many other models

  39. Technical Background TONN 2010 Nf=C ∙ 0.001KF1∙ɛh-3.291∙E-0.854 • Fatigue Cracking • C = correction factor (based on material properties) • KF1 = calibration factor for R-value designs • Ɛh= maximum tensile horizontal strain at the bottom of the AC layer • E = AC modulus

  40. Technical Background TONN 2010 Nd=0.0261∙ɛc-2.35 • Subgrade Permanent Deformation • Ɛc= maximum compressive vertical strain at the top of the subgrade

  41. Technical Background TONN 2010 • Base Shear Failure Criteria • 1 = maximum allowable major principal stress • 3 = minor principal stress, or confining pressure for triaxial test • C = cohesion •  = internal friction angle, degrees • Base layer is predicted to fail when 1 > 1critical

  42. Technical Background TONN 2010 MnPAVE climatic parameters are pre-programmed for each county

  43. Technical Background TONN 2010 • Analysis Steps • Backcalculation of FWD drops • Temperature and seasonal adjustment of backcalculated moduli • Estimate structural response • Conduct damage analysis • Select critical load capacity

  44. Technical Background FWD Device

  45. Technical Background Backcalculation

  46. Technical Background Structural Response Asphalt Base Subgrade Under Wheel Between Wheels

  47. Technical Background Damage Analysis • Develop TONN ratings for • Asphalt Cracking • Subgrade Rutting • Base Shear Failure • Differential Deflections • Use minimum value for the TONN rating

  48. Technical Background Overlay Method Overlay Asphalt Base Subgrade

  49. Technical Background Overlay Method • Compute layer moduli based on: • Reliability inputs • Pavement structure • Default or User-supplied Traffic • Measured FWD data • Add asphalt overlay thickness
