ANALYTICAL EVALUATION OF BITUMINOUS OVERLAYS ON FLEXIBLE PAVEMENTS

Criteria were developed to predict the performance of bituminous overlays on flexible pavements considering fatigue and modes of distress. Data collected on several pavement sections on national highways in India were correlated to the mechanistic response of the pavement to develop the performance criteria. The theoretical responses of the pavement were calculated by using a computer program developed to solve elastic layered systems. Design charts were prepared to assist field engineers in designing pavement sections that can be expected to perform satisfactorily during the design period without developing excessive fatigue cracking and rutting.
