| Description |
Consulpav International is working closely with the
University of Minho in Portugal under a contract from the RPA to develop a
mechanistic procedure for overlay design that directly take into account the
mechanism of reflective cracking as well as classical flexural fatigue
cracking. The problem of properly modeling the mechanism of reflective cracking
is particularly prevalent in thin asphalt concrete overlays. This paper
presents a numerical evaluation, through a finite element simulation, of mode
of loading or several types of flexible pavements and overlays placed on these
pavements.
