Sample of a concrete slabs spectrum analysis
o Objective of the presentation
• Show the use of singular techniques in order to analyze a singular “pavement”
o Tunnel made by a Tunnel Boring Machine
o Pavement characteristics
• Continuous series of transversal beams
• Gaps between beams filled on site
• Bituminous pavement extended on top of beams

Schematic of pavement longitudinal section
o Base layer made of concrete slabs
![Page 11: Portorož, Slovenia ADVANCED ANALYSIS FOR SINGULAR LONGITUDINAL PROFILES Alejandro Amírola SanzAlejandro Amírola Sanz Equipment research and development](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e735503460f94b73206/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

Methodology for the analysis
o Estimation of the theoretic profile of the base layer
o Collection of the real concrete base layer profile• Laser profiler
o Comparison of the base profiles (theoretic and real)• Spectrum analysis
o Control of the evolution of the profile during the works to verify the lamination of the irregularities through the extension of the bituminous layers
• Laser profiler• Spectrum analysis
o Spectrum analysis can be used because the pavement has a continuous and repetitive characteristic that appears every 1.20 meters (during the full tunnel section over 2 km)

Theoretic profile
o Steps
• Every 90 cm one step 30 cm long
• Height of steps: 3 cm
• Obtained profile provides an IRI similar to that of the real concrete profile
o Spectrum
• Peaks at:
• 0.24, 0.40, 0.60 and 1.20 meters wavelengths

Real base concrete profile
o Continuous concrete base layer
o On the spectrum of the profile the following wavelengths appear:
• 0.30 meters• 0.41 meters• 0.61 meters• 1.22 meters• 2.03 meters o Other irregularities from the real concrete
base appear although the peaks at those wavelength are predominant

Ways of solution
o Proceed with grinding works in order to improve the quality of the base layer
o Place several thin asphalt layers to reduce the effect of the irregular base layer
• Verify the improvement made by those thin layers
o Solution adopted
• THIN LAYERS

The profiles obtained during the works
o Obtained with a laser profiler for every layer
• Base• Binder• Surface

The effect of thebituminous layers
o Spectrum analysis of the three layers (base, binder and surface)
o Binder• Almost eliminates
all the peaks (only 1.22 meters peak stays)
o Surface• Removes the
remaining peak values produced by the base structure

Summary of results
o It has been shown that the effect of the base layer irregularities has been removed by the thin asphalt layers
o There remain irregularities that still provide roughness (IRI)

Conclusions:
o IRI is a good index to survey the roads Unevenness and Roughness. It can be used for a Network level study. High IRI values can indicate some localized problems.
o There exist several tools for the advanced analysis of road profiles. Each procedure brings up different information about the profile.
o The application of this analysis is not easily applicable to a Network level, but it is useful for specific sections.
