IN THAILAND

Introduction
Method for the flexible pavement design
1. Empirical Method - based on past experience designs and the data generated from the field tests
2. Mechanistic – Empirical (M-E) Method- based on the use of stress, strain and deflection
analysis to determine the minimum thickness of pavement
![Page 3: By Mr.Surasak Kaewdee Transportation Engineering Dr. Kunnawee Kanitpong (Adviser) Asian Institute of Technology ANALYSIS OF TRAFFIC LOADING CHARACTERISTICS.](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110320/56649cb15503460f94977198/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Introduction
Disadvantage of the empirical design method.
1. Limited only to certain pavement materials that were developed Limited only one or two pattern.
2. The thickness design of the pavement structure using design charts will have some errors.
Advantage of the M-E design method
1. The design is correct and confident anywhere and any environment condition.
2. Pavements can be designed according to any available materials.
3. The approach can provide any magnitude of wheel loads and frequencies.
4. Pavement can be designed into various patterns.

Problem statement
Problem load characterization in Thailand.
1. The count station counts only the number of each vehicle.
2. The Truck factors are always assumed for the new pavement design and the rehabilitated design.
3. The calculation of ESALs does not represent the existing types and categories of vehicles.
4. The new limits of axle load and gross weight for ten wheels standard trucks has been increased from 21 tons to 25 tons.
![Page 6: By Mr.Surasak Kaewdee Transportation Engineering Dr. Kunnawee Kanitpong (Adviser) Asian Institute of Technology ANALYSIS OF TRAFFIC LOADING CHARACTERISTICS.](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110320/56649cb15503460f94977198/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Objectives of Study
• To classify loading types and configuration for the design.
• To analyze the input data as collected from weigh-in-motion (WIM) for the M-E design method.
• To use the M-E design method by considering the current traffic load in Thailand.
• To develop the guidelines of traffic data collection by using WIM for future use in the design and maintenance of pavements in Thailand.

Weigh-in-motion
• The devices which measure truck weights and axle configuration at highway speeds, are an integral part of the program to provide highway-use data.

• Observe from January 2008 to December 2008.• Collect in one direction located at the four selected WIM
stations.• Classify into 13 standard vehicle classes• Select monthly reports; class by hour, class by single axle
weight, class by tandem axle weight and class by tridem axle weight.
• Provide a load interval of each axle group in 2 tons.

Pavement Design and Analysis
Overlay by M-E method
• The thickness of the pavement overlay on this section of highway number 304 is two centimeters.
![Page 22: By Mr.Surasak Kaewdee Transportation Engineering Dr. Kunnawee Kanitpong (Adviser) Asian Institute of Technology ANALYSIS OF TRAFFIC LOADING CHARACTERISTICS.](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110320/56649cb15503460f94977198/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
• The traffic data from the WIM stations are accurate and reliable than the count station.
• The annual truck factors represent the actual truck distributions relating to the current traffic volume.
• The ESAL are determined for each vehicle which is more accurate and reliable.
• Truck distributions are important issues for planning and geometrical purposes.
• The new design by M-E method can design various pavement structures.
• The thickness of overlay design is two centimeters for both FWD and M-E approaches.
Conclusions
Conclusions and Recommendations
Recommendations
• The WIM systems should be calibrated periodically.
• A future study should test the material properties..
• Development of traffic data collection and results by using WIM for future use in the new design and maintenance of pavements in Thailand.
• These traffic data are collected continuously and systematically.
