Abstract

The present investigation shows the sensitivity analysis and the correlation between the rutting or deformation and the deflection in a flexible pavement structure to verify the design criteria of deformation or rutting and deflection of the structural model. The methodology applied for rutting analysis was established in the guide for the mechanical-empirical design of flexible pavements "Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide - MEPDG" developed by the AASHTO (American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials) and the theory elastic for deflection calculation. The variables analyzed were contact pressure, load per tire, modulus of elasticity, and thickness of the different layers of the flexible pavement structural model. As a conclusion of the investigation carried out, the variables most sensitive to rutting of flexible pavement structures are obtained: the dynamic modulus of the asphalt mix, the load per tire, the thickness of the asphalt layer, the contact pressure, and the most sensitive variables. to deflection are the load per tire, the resilient modulus of the subgrade, the thickness of the asphalt layer and the dynamic modulus of the asphalt layer; Also, the correlations between the deflection, the design variables and the rutting of flexible pavement structures are presented, this information is very useful for designer engineers of pavement structures.
