ANALYTICAL STUDY OF FABRIC INTERLAYER EFFECTS

An analytical study of asphalt concrete (AC) overlays (with fabric interlayers) of portland cement concrete (PCCP) is presented. The study employes special finnite element analysis, suitable for microcomputers, to evaluate the effect of fabric interlayers on stresses and strains in an AC overlay. The influence of fabric location and fabric properties such as thickness, modulus, and Poisson's ratio is investigated. Another phase of this study determined the tensile properties of various paving fabrics using a special "high aspect ratio" tensile test. (Author)
