Abstract

Several non-destructive testing (NTD) methods have been used to measure surface deflection, which makes to determine the elastic moduli of pavement layers through the back-calculation process and assess the structural capacity of asphalt pavements. In this study was evaluated the back-calculated moduli of the cobblestone interlayer pavements and the load capacity of this type of pavement related to the fatigue cracking criterion based on a mechanistic-empirical analysis. The employed methodology included the performance of on-site trials using non-destructive testing with the Falling Weight Deflectometer (FWD) devices on 84 test points in granular and cobblestone interlayer pavements, determination of deflection basin parameters (DBP), back-calculation layers’ moduli, and estimate of the fatigue cracking performance of the pavements by mechanistic-empirical analyses in MeDiNa software. The pavements with a cobblestone base layer displayed greater deflection measurements on the load application point compared to those measured on pavements with a granular base layer, indicating that conventional pavement displayed more stiffness. Cobblestone interlayer pavement displayed greater amounts of cracked area compared to granular base layer pavements showing lower load capacity based on the fatigue criterion. The DBP-based method by FWD test was able to identify the structural differences between the layers of pavements evaluated and identify the cracking evolution.
