Statement of the problem. Ensuring an increased life cycle of flexible road pavements requires significant improvement of the organizational and technical mechanisms for managing their condition. One of such elements is the monitoring the condition of flexible road pavements, which receives insufficient attention in the road practice of the Russian Federation. The development of a conceptual framework for monitoring the state of flexible pavements is the main objective of the study reported in this article.

Results. The main parameter characterizing the state of flexible road pavement is to use the density of the energy dissipated during the passage of the settlement car determined based on the area of its dynamic hysteresis loop. The article looks at the methods of constructing dynamic hysteresis loops at the design stage and operation stage. The results of full-scale and cameral studies on the establishment of statistical laws for the distribution of structural parameters of flexible pavements at the operational stage are presented.

Conclusions. A new approach to monitoring the state of flexible road pavements was developed based on the analysis of the energy dissipation density in the pavement structure and taking into account the stochastic nature of the distribution of its main structural parameters allowing for operational planning and management of the technical condition of flexible road pavements.

Keywords: pavement, technical monitoring, residual life, density, dissipation energy, dynamic hysteresis loop, damping coefficient.

Introduction. Due to a transition to a 24-year gap in the maintenance of flexible pavements, it is increasingly important to improve their management mechanisms. Recent years have seen a significant development in the infrastructure of diagnostic equipment for their instrumental evaluation. A number of effective solutions have been set forth for its integration into a current technical base available in the Russian Federation.

One of the ways of addressing this is by designing effective decision-making mechanisms. There are comprehensive unified systems of road maintenance which rely on the major assumptions of the Guidelines on the Road Evaluation and Maintenance (ОДН 218.0.006-2002) [1, 3, 4, 12]. Individual approaches to the maintenance of flexible road pavements are employed based on the evaluation of their residual life [2, 5, 10, 13] and condition prior to the commencement of the project [16––18]. It should be noted, however, that one of the essential elements in any management system is monitoring. In this country’s road industry the term is seen as a superficial one meaning nothing except a set of comprehensive measures to evaluate road pavements in order to assess their deterioration rates [8, 14]. The analysis of foreign literature on the topic suggests that new technologies of collecting, storing and processing road evaluation data have been a focus of attention [11, 17, 19]. At the same time in accordance with the GOST (ГОСТ) Р 54257-2010 “Reliability of Building Structures and Foundations”, identification of a particular technological monitoring method is a broader effort that involves systemic assessment of the structure in order to control its quality, compliance with the project specifications and guidelines, predicting actual load-bearing capacity and residual life cycles resulting in informed decision-making with regard to ensuring longer emergency-free operation of the object.

1. Modelling the effect of a dynamic hysteresis on the road pavement surface under the impact of a calculated vehicle. Existing system of road pavement evaluation criteria involves the design of a comprehensive set of operational (longitudinal evenness, adhesion coefficient, rutting) and structural characteristics of flexible road pavements (the overall elasticity modulus, average visual evaluation score). At the same time there is no energy parameter that would describe a road structure and account for a combination of all of the above factors. This could be the density of dissipated energy as the calculated vehicle passes through which is defined as

where the left-hand part of the expression identifies energy losses in the environment under the impact of a surface source with a contact spot ; ij , ij are the strains and deformations on the surface of a road structure; Eпов is the energy infinitely transferred by surface waves;

EP,S is the energy of volumetric waves; E* is the energy dissipated in the road structure due to the viscosity properties and internal anomalies.

This can be calculated using the area of a dynamic hysteresis loop [9, 25] obtained while modeling a vehicle’s wheel path along a pavement surface. The solution will be implemented by applying the mechanic and mathematical modeling of the stress-strain of flexible road pavement. The mathematical model is based on the solution of a system of boundary integral equations and is described in [11, 25].

Considering that in real conditions under the wheel impact on the road pavement surface, there is a spatial dynamic stress-strain. The energy density should thus be given by the formula

where W is the density of the dissipated energy, J/m3.

For more on the results of the numerical modeling of the density of the dissipated energy of road structures with different rigidity ratios of their layers see [25].

2. Restoring the parameters of dynamic stress-strain of flexible road pavement at the operation stage. Implementation of a system of technical monitoring of flexible road pavements involves obtaining similar parameters at the operation stage, which requires restoring the parameters of its dynamic stress-strain.

The use of modern equipment and software packages allows the elasticity modulus s of construction layers of flexible road pavements to be identified at the operation stage using the elastic deflection measurements [6, 7, 22, 23]. The area of a dynamic hysteresis loop is determined apart from the elasticity modulus s by its attenuation characteristics. This could be a damping coefficient of the layer determined based on the amplitude-time characteristics of displacements measured on the road pavement surface under shock loading using FWD for measuring vertical deformations at the load application point as well as away from it using 9 sensor geophones (Fig. 1).

The results of imitation modeling presented in [24] allowed us to conclude that changes in the damping coefficient of the asphalt concrete layers are associated with a time difference between the extremums of amplitude-time characteristics of the displacements in the area 0––0.30 m away from the shock loading point, the foundation layers in the area 0.3––1.2 m, the subgrade soil –– 1.2––2.5 m.

The damping coefficient can be identified in accordance with the formula [20]:

vertical displacements where the damping coefficient is calculated.

Based on the natural experiments, the method of restoring the parameters of the stress-strain of flexible road pavements at the operation stage was designed (Fig. 2).
