Abstract: |
Modelling the service life for
asphalt pavements is widely made with base on empirical methods, developed
half-century ago, with poor results. The new reality of the XXI century, with
high construction costs, environmental restrictions and growing volumes of
vehicles in the highways, enforce the shift to a new level of quality and
accuracy to predict the service life of the pavements. This paper presents
some insights either theoretical or experimental into a making from the
ground, of an approach to predict and model the asphalt pavement behaviour
using soft computing tools and, at the same time, create a way to accumulate
the knowledge in this engineering field. The knowledge about the asphalt
pavement life cycle is organized in a hierarchical way in order to be reused
in a formal way, leading to an evolutionary process of adaptation and
construction (Neves et al. 2007). |
