Performance Prediction with the MMLS3 at WesTrack

摘要

The one-third scale Model Mobile Load Simulator (MMLS3) was used to traffic fourpavement sections at WesTrack to establish and validate its ability to reliably predict rutting performance under full-scale trafficking. Researchers utilized two different analysis methods in determining rut depth (RD) from transverse profiles both scaled (MMLS3) and full-scale (WesTrack trucks) loading. Researchers also completed a limited laboratory testing program to complement results contained in the WesTrack database.
