A study on the behavior of pavement structures

Abstract

In this thesis in situ density and moisture - density relationship of cement - treated base layer of a pavement layered system are tested within the programme of Kadiköy Yeldeğirmeni Project Similar layered systems are analyzed by computer as a parametric sfudy to find the expected solutions for stresses and deflections of the designed layered system under the design loads. For this purpose, In place soil densities of cement - treated base layer are measured with field density test in Kadiköy Yeldeğirmeni Region and the results are compared with the compaction test results obtained in the laboratory. Additionally, The expected solutions of similar layered systems are analyzed as a parametric study using multi layered elastic system computer program determining the various component stresses and strains in a three dimensional ideal elastic layered system under expected vehicle loads.
