21 Fatigue Failure criterion N t = 10 6 (ε t / K) -a ; K = 240 et a = 3.29 (Asphalte Institue) 25

22 Rutting in subgrade or base N o =1.077 х (ε v ) (Chevron) Failure criterion 26

23 Flow rutting log(ε p / ε r ) = log(n o ) log(t) (AASHTO 2002) Failure criterion 27

24 ESAL Ratio between the pavement dammage cause by a specific load and a reference load. ESALt = Nr / Nt Normalized ESAL with reference temperature ESALt = FCD ECAStr 28

25 Fatigue Summer dammage correction factor FCD Spring 29

26 Spring Transp ort s (ESAL) (ESAL) Summer 455/55R R R /55R /65R R R /65R22.5 ESAL (fatigue) LOAD (1/2 AXLE) kg 30

27 Summer ESAL (flow rutting) mesured (ESAL) 12R /65R R /55R22.5 LOAD (1/2 AXLE) kg 31

28 Combine «ESAL» Combine effect of two types of failure Fatigue and flow rutting Spring Summer Fatigue and Rutting in subgrade or base Spring Summer 32

29 Combine «ESAL» (Fatigue and flow rutting ) Fe = ESAL / tire type X ESAL 11R22.5 (ESAL) 455/55R22.5 = 2.20 ESAL 12R ESAL 385/65R22.5 = 2.30 ESAL 11R22.5 = 1.40 ESAL LOAD (1/2 AXLE) kg 33

30 Load limits Single kg Tandem 1.6 * kg Tridem 2.13 * kg 34

31 Exemple - Single axial Load limits (Summer) Pneu 11R22.5 P limite = kg (Fe( Fe=1.00) Pneu 12 R22.5 P limite = kg (Fe( Fe=1.00) Pneu 385/65R22.5 P limite = kg (Fe( Fe=1.80) Pneu 455/55R22.5 P limite = kg (Fe( Fe=1.80) 35

32 Exemple - Single axial Load limits (Spring) Pneu 11R22.5 P limite = kg (Fe( Fe=1.00) Pneu 12 R22.5 P limite = kg (Fe( Fe=1.00) Pneu 385/65R22.5 P limite = kg (Fe( Fe=1.80) Pneu 455/55R22.5 P limite = kg (Fe( Fe=1.80) 36

33 Conclusion With the same load, Wide-base tire cause more pavement dammage than a standard dual tires Fatigue of bituminous layer is the critical «failure criterion» The axle load limit must be reduce by 16% for a wide-base tire 37

34 Further works Perform a road network analysis; Evaluation of Fe factor for differents types of roads. Révision of the load limits regulation according to the benefits for the transportation industry 38

35 Further works Complete a data analysis from SERUL experimental study to learn more about the "tire-pavement" interface impact 39
