Abstract:
This TechBrief summarizes important findings from the report, which was prepared for the Flooded Pavement Assessment project funded through Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Project No. DTFH61-13-C00022. The report addresses the load-carrying capacity of pavements affected by flooding to provide decisionmakers with quantitative tools to rationally assess and strategize opening roads to traffic after floodwater recedes, considering flooding hydraulics and pavement structural aspects. The TechBrief presents highlights from two major efforts of the research—laboratory material characterization and pavement performance evaluation.
