Alternative Asphalt Concrete Pavement Design Methods at the Port of Los Angeles

Abstract

This paper will discuss the empirical results of incorporating composite paving interlayers within pavement sections of streets located on Terminal Island at the Port of Los Angeles. Historically, this area is subject to extensive pavement distress caused by high volumes of terminal truck traffic. In an effort to minimize impacts to operating terminal traffic, the Port of Los Angeles developed the use of experimental pavement sections to reduce the construction time, traffic control set up, and cost of the street repair work while still maintaining the structural integrity of the roadway. The objective of the experimental pavement overlay projects was to provide an effective and sustainable alternative to traditional full-depth street reconstruction with the incorporation of geocomposite materials. The primary focus of this paper will be on a lightweight polypropylene paving fabric reinforced with continuous filament fiberglass versus a paving mat interlayer and the benefits of each in regards to tensile strength, crack-resilience, moisture protection, and overall life span of the pavement.
