CONCEPTS FOR RIGID PAVEMENT OVERLAY DESIGN

This paper presents overlay design concepts developed by a U.S. Federal Highway Administration sponsored program. An actual working design procedure was developed from these concepts and is being packaged into a computer program with a user's manual. Efforts were made to use and improve the most up-to-date concepts and theories available for rigid pavement overlay design in developing a universal design procedure for implementation. The new procedure described here accounts for rehabilitation of existing Portland cement concrete (PCC) pavements by overlaying with either PCC or asphaltic concrete. This same concept has been applied to design of overlays for flexible pavements and airfield pavements.
