GUIDELINES FOR REHABILITATING FLEXIBLE PAVEMENTS

The guidelines presented in this report are intended as an aid to the engineer in selecting the most appropriate type of pavement rehabilitation form those that are available. The basic types of distress in pavement surfaces and their causes are described. Techniques such as milling, preventive maintenance, and structural strengthening are discussed, and two methods of designing overlays are described. A present-worth method of economic analysis that can be used to determine the most cost-effective rehabilitative measure for a given type of distress is illustrated.
