Construction Performance Evaluation Model of Asphalt Concrete Pavement
Publication: Road Pavement and Material Characterization, Modeling, and Maintenance
Abstract
In recent years, the national highway system in Taiwan has tried to advance its service performance based on adaptation to the geographical and climatical environment in the Taiwan area. To do so, porous asphalt concrete has been introduced into Taiwan. This material has been used for years, in other places, in order to make pavement construction durable and extend the life cycles of highways and to improve safety in driving, rapid drainage and skid-proofing of paving. The study collects proper influence factors for consideration with the Factor Analysis Method and the questionnaire survey method, and verifies the relevant factors obtained from this research and the drainage-type relevant factors in an attempt to obtain the weight and influences of factors. With the establishment of the performance evaluation model for asphalt concrete pavement, this research can provide the national highways construction service with a useful decision making model for evaluation.
