MODELING OF EFFECTS OF MOISTURE AND DRAINAGE OF NJDOT FLEXIBLE PAVEMENT SYSTEMS

This report with supplements is a part of a concerted effort to resolve the problem of subsurface road drainage. Internally drainable layered systems for flexible pavements composed of various combinations of O.G. materials was proposed by the NJDOT. The objective of this effort was to evaluate the relative performance of designated pavement systems with drainage layers under repeated wheel loading and simultaneous drainage of water through the system. Reduced scale models of layered pavement sections were tested using the University of Illinois Pavement Test Track. An integral part of these studies would include testing and evaluation of the materials used on thses studies and correlation of these material properties with pavement performance. (FHWA)
