Flexible Pavement Overlay Design Procedures. Volume 1. Evaluation and Modification of the Design Methods

摘要

The objectives of this research report is to provide the pavement engineer with a rational and ready reference to design procedures for asphaltic concrete overlay of flexible pavements based on elastic layer theory. The design procedures and the analytical techniques presented have been formulated to predict the structural fatigue response of asphaltic concrete overlays for various design conditions, including geometrical and material properties, loading conditions and environmental variables.
