Abstract


Pavements of aerodromes, container terminals, logistic terminals, areas of storage, parking lots, areas of waste utilization and etc. are affected by static and impact loads. These loads strongly influence pavement performance by causing permanent deformations and distresses in the surface and even sometimes pavement failure in the beginning of pavement exploitation. The types of structure, materials and layers thickness are the main factors relative to pavement performance. This paper aims to create a design model for static and impact load affected pavements.
