NRRA: Flooded Pavements Assessment Application (Phase 2)

Summary:

This is Phase II project to enhance and amplify the post-flooding roadway assessment developed in the Phase I project, Mechanistic Load Restriction Decision Platform. The goals are: (1) improve the user-interface and adaptive functionality, such as interacting with pavement analysis software and more diverse material and load options, and computational efficiency of the application; (2) validate this mechanistically programmed application using scaled physical modeling, advance numerical simulation, and in-situ field data. All versions of application would be available for use with corresponding technical and user manual.
