Investigation of Reflective Cracking Mitigation Techniques, Summary

摘要

In this project, University of Central Florida researchers focused on asphalt concrete overlays over flexible pavements. They identified suitable RC mitigation methods for Florida conditions and ranked them by cost, performance, and other design variables. The researchers examined many aspects of the problem, conducting an extensive literature review, a survey, personal interviews, numerical simulation using finite element analysis (FEA), and Life Cycle Cost (LCC) and Multi Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) analyses.
