Layer Coefficients for New and Reprocessed Asphaltic Mixes

摘要

This report is divided into seven chapters. The first chapter provides anintroduction, objectives, methodology, scope, and summary of the research. In chapter 2, a literature review investigating the background of layer coefficients, resilient modulus, FWD methods, permanent deformation damage functions, and tri-axial test apparatus is presented. Chapter 3 describes both the field and laboratory data collection methods, including how the laboratory specimens were manufactured. Field data results and analyses are presented in Chapter 4. The laboratory results and analyses are discussed in the following chapter. Finally the research findings and future recommendations are summarized in Chapter 6.
