Theoretical analysis of structural behavior of road test flexible pavements
Study of structural behavior of flexible pavements of AASHO Road Test; data on deflections and stresses measured during test, as well as data on mechanisms of pavement failure, are assembled and analyzed; it is shown that load spreading abilities of flexible pavements with conventional untreated bases are very limited; stresses and deflections vary with pavement temperature and degree of saturation of subgrade, as well as with vehicle speed; at creeping vehicle speeds and over major part of year, excepting frost periods, stress and deflection patterns are generally similar to those predicted by Boussingesq theory for homogeneous solid.
