Application of ALT method for the study of road pavements
Abstract
This paper presents a state-of –the –art of application of Accelerated Load Testing- ALT method for the study of road pavements.
ALT is defined as the application of wheel loads to specially constructed or in-service pavements to determine pavement response and performance under a controlled and accelerated accumulation of damage in a short period of time.
Over the years, more highway agencies have used accelerated load testing (ALT) as a means of evaluating potential construction materials, pavement designs, and other aspects of pavement performance. Various ALT techniques and principles are presented, and some recommendations of the use of each technique are finally given.
