The System Dynamics of Flooded Pavements

Publication Information

Publication Type:
TechBrief
Publication Number:
FHWA-HRT-24-096
Abstract:

This TechBrief summarizes the system dynamics aspects from the report, which was prepared for the Flooded Pavement Assessment project funded through FHWA Project No. DTFH61-13-C-00022. The report, in general, 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.
