3. Natural experiments of statistical laws of the distribution of the elasticity modulus s and damping coefficients of flexible road pavements. Possible restoration of the parameters of the dynamic strain-stress of road pavements using the results of instrumental evaluation and mechanic and mathematical modeling allows their actual condition to be evaluated in accordance to the design project. It should be noted, however, that in order to do this, it is necessary that the statistical laws of the distribution of the major structural parameters of flexible road pavements and laws of their degradation throughout the life cycle.
In order to solve this problem, from 2014 to 2018 studies were conducted in the operating areas of the highways so that the statistical laws of the distribution of the major structural parameters (elasticity modulus s and damping coefficients) of flexible road pavements and their change during operation were identified. For this purpose, all the investigated areas of the highways were divided into three groups with the life cycle of 0––5 years, 5––10 years, over 10 years. The total length of the investigated areas was 260 km where over 3000 deflection bowls and amplitude-time characteristics of displacements were recorded. According to the analysis of the results, it was found that the distribution of the elasticity modulus and damping coefficients of flexible road pavements obeys the logarithmically normal law:

where m and σ are the parameters of the logarithmically normal distribution (scale parameters and distribution forms).
Based on the measurements, the averaged parameters of the logarithmically normal distribution for road pavements with the life cycle of 0––5 years, 5––10 years, 10––15 years (Table 1––2).

The obtained averaged parameters of the logarithmically normal distribution are the foundation for modeling changes in the dynamic contour of hysteresis loops on the road pavement surface at different stages of its operation and are accounted for in determining the calculated and residual resources of road pavements.
4. Тheoretical foundations of the implementation of the system of technical monitoring of road pavements. A set of theoretical and natural experiments allowed the main approaches to be formulated that are set forth as part of the system of technical monitoring of flexible road pavements including three major sections (Fig. 3––5).
––determining the calculated contour (development) of road pavements throughout its life cycle;
––identifying the residual resource and gamma-percentage resource of road pavements, evaluation of design solutions;
––specifying the thickness of the reinforcement of road pavements for its design life cycle. The suggested approaches rely on calculating the total dissipated energy in the road pavement structure throughout its life cycle based on calculating dynamic hysteresis loops over a loading cycle under the calculated vehicle’s wheel considering the statistical laws of the distribution of the major structural and operational parameters of flexible road pavements (Fig. 3). The use of the modern equipment enabling the major structural and operational parameters of flexible road pavements to be determined allows one to calculate the actual dynamic stress-strain of road pavements at their operation stage followed by calculations of actual dynamic hysteresis loops of the road structure and identifying its actual development before the experiments got underway.

Fig. 5. Method of the design of the reinforcement measures of road pavements
The approach was tested in one of the operated areas of the highway М-4 Don. The structure of the road pavement in this area is shown in Fig. 6. The total number of the calculated loads for the structure was 12 233 000 calculation loads А11.5 (115 kN) throughout the life cycle.
