Initial Test Results from the MLS10 Mobile Load Simulator in Switzerland
The Mobile Load Simulator (MLS10) is a new type of Accelerated Pavement Testing (APT) equipment recently purchased by Empa, Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology. This paper summarizes the results of the first calibration tests of the MLS10 in Switzerland. The objective was to evaluate the performance of the machine for testing pavements constructed with local materials under local guidelines. The focus of the study was the structure of the A4 motorway near Zürich. Three pavements were constructed and trafficked with a total of 1.6 million 65 kN load passes over a period of approximately seven months. To access the structural response throughout the loading history, the pavements were instrumented with different sensors. Transverse profiles of the surface were periodically taken. FallingWeightDeflectometer (FWD) and static deflection bowl measurements were taken before, during, and after trafficking to evaluate the structural condition. Finally, pavement samples were obtained from the section and tested in the laboratory. The pavement response was analyzed and validated with a model using the Finite Element Method (FEM). At the end of the tests almost no sign of distress was observed, showing the durability of the pavement.
