Various deflection basin parameters were calculated for typical pavement structures in the flexible behavior state. Various linear elastic multiple layered models were used on computer to analyze these pavement structures. Input parameters were varied over the spectrum found in practice. The equivalent layer thickness concept was evaluated as a useful tool in the mechanistic analysis of such pavements for the purpose of overlay design. Useful relationships between deflection basin parameters and overlay thickness were established. The two distress criteria, to which it was related, are maximum asphalt strain and vertical subgrade strain.
