Integrated Pavement Damage Analyzer (INTPAVE) Graphical User Interface Manual (9-1502-01-P13)

This user manual instructs readers on how to use the graphical user interface (GUI) for the Integrated Pavement Damage Analyzer (INTPAVE). The software is a stand-alone executable program that has an integrated finite element analysis (FEA) model, developed in Matlab, that calculates rutting and stresses for flexible pavements. The GUI sends to and receives data from an external concrete pavement analysis program, JSLAB-2004. Results are displayed graphically. The software may be used for: - rutting calculation for a given flexible pavement structure and traffic loading scenario by means of the FEA, - fatigue cracking determination for a given pavement structure by means of the Asphalt Institute procedure, - damage factor determination based on comparison of a truck against a standard truck defined by the user, and - permit fee calculation for a case study truck based on damage caused by a single pass compared to the damage caused by a standard truck.
