The Study of Pavement Overlay Design. Design Guidelines for Overlays of Existing Pavements:An Implementation Manual.

摘要

In this study,simplified procedures for design of flexible and rigid overlays for flexible and rigid pavements are discussed. Numerical examples are provided for calculation of stresses,strains and pavement life expectancy. This implementation manual also provides techniques for utilization of deflection parameters and field measurement techniques for pavement overlay design purposes. In this design procedure,the effects of load,climatic factors,pavement conditions such as joints and pavement history are also incorporated. A directory of computer programs and research reports for assisting the designer are included in this implementation package. (Portions of this document are not fully legible)
