Flexible and Composite Structures for Premium Pavements. Volume 1. Development of Design Procedure
The document provides results of a detailed study to identify flexible and composite structures which will perform as zero-maintenance pavements. To accomplish this, the report identifies the major distress types which have seriously limited the maintenance-free life of flexible and composite pavements, selects analytical models for use in a structural analysis for pavement structures, and develops design criteria for each distress type. A materials review was also completed to establish materials capable of satisfying the zero-maintenance criteria. As a result of the project, a detailed design procedure has been presented which uses fatigue and transverse cracking, rutting, roughness, and environmental factors of temperature and moisture, to establish thickness and material requirements for the design and construction of zero-maintenance pavements.
