PROSES DESAIN STRUKTUR PERKERASAN LENTUR YANG MEMPERHITUNGKAN VARIASI MODULUS PERKERASAN AKIBAT PENGARUH TEMPERATUR

ABSTRACT: The  effects of pavement temperature on pavement  modulus,  particularly  the asphalt  layer  modulus,  are  quite apparent.    In  the  analytical  design  method,  the  effects  of  pavement  temperature  can  be  taken  into  account  in  term  of design temperature factor,  as that proposed  by  the  Nottingham  method.   Alternatively  as  proposed  by  the  Asphalt Institute  method,  Miner’s  theory can  also  be  applied  to  calculate pavement  thickness  design directly that  satisfies  the cumulative effects  of pavement  modulus  variation.   For  this  purpose, traffic  loading  spectrum across the pavement temperature differences ought to be known. A research had been conducted to determine design temperature factor from FWD  deflection  data  measured  four  times  in  the  morning,  afternoon,  evening  and  in the night within  the  same  day. Pavement  modulus  values were  estimated from back  calculation processes  on  the FWD deflection  data.  This  paper outlines  the  analytical  design  procedure  based  on  the  Nottingham  method  by  using  program  PastDean  employing  the calculated design  temperature  factor  and  the  Miner’s  theory,  respectively.    It  was  found  that the  remaining  life  of  the existing pavement structure being analyzed would be dictated by the fatigue cracking criterion, and the resulting design temperature factor was 1.55. Further analysis is then presented to simulate hypothetically the design temperature factor suitable for permanent deformation criterion.
