Abstract

For the purposes of developing long-life pavements in China, in 2015. The Research Institute of Highway Ministry of Transport built a 2.038 km full-scale field pavement testing road named RIOHTRACK. The RIOHTRACK consisted of 38 pavement testing sections, in all of them some potential long-life asphalt pavement structure and material sections were set and tested, especially some semi-rigid base long-life pavement structures. The testing road was planed to finish 50 million ESALs (10 tons standard axle loading) conducted by the real trucks and trails accelerated loading before the end of 2022. Then based on the pavement performance changing rule and the structural response characteristics of different pavement, especially of the long-life pavement candidates, to study the long-life pavement design method, prediction model, distress criterion and so on. This paper introduces the basic research details of RIOHTRACK, which includes the design scheme, the loading situation, the detecting method, And the 19 main structural section pavement performance detecting results and the research findings from December 2016 to November 2019.
