Elmod 6
ELMOD is an acronym for Evaluation of Layer Moduli and Overlay Design.
module of the Dynatest
suite of analytical
programs including:
Many current methods of pavement evaluation and rehabilitation
design rely almost exclusively on empirical relationships. Since The FEM / LET / MET
empirical rules are difcult to generalize across a wide range of module, LCCA module
pavement types, loading and local environmental conditions,
and PCN module
a primary goal for the Dynatest methodology has been to
reduce the reliance on empirical approaches.
LCCA module
4HE ,##! ,IFE #YCLE #OST !NALYSIS MODULE ALLOWS THE USER TO SELECT
the optimum rehabilitation and maintenance solution for the pavement
section. The main inputs are the backcalculation results from Elmod 6
and a user dened choice of rehabilitation solutions.
The program performs a life cycle cost analysis for each maintenance
OPTION AND ARRANGES THE SOLUTIONS ACCORDING TO COSTBENElT RATIOS
,##! MAKES USE OF INCREMENTAL
RECURSIVE ANALYSIS METHODS THAT ARE
SIMILAR TO THE APPROACH OF THE PROPOSED !!3(4/ DESIGN GUIDE
Other performance data like roughness, rut depth, friction and visual
surveys may be included in the modeling.
The performance models and cost models are user adjustable and
calibrated to specic conditions.
