Abstract:
The information of national and provincial highway in Shandong province including pavement structure, traffic load , maintenance history etc, were investigated deeply. The pavement performance model
P=
P01-exp-(
α/
y)
β was adopted and the parameters of
α,
β were discussed in detail. Two major factors, ie the thickness of asphalt mixture and large vehicle number per lane in one day, were taken into account, and the parameters
α,
β in the model
P were expressed by the above two factors. The expression of
α,
β were revised by the bearing capacity of embankment and base type and it could be extended to other provinces after regional environment revision. The
α,
β could be used conveniently to evaluate the applicability of asphalt thickness in a level of traffic, which could help to make investment decision and maintenance plan for highway department.
