| Description | This paper presents the results of a study directed toward the solution of the reflection cracking problem in overlaid cracked pavements. Stresses in the overlay pavement near the existing crack are estimated using a recently developed finite element program for the pavement system idealization. Crack tip stresses for both traffic leading and temperature changes are calculated; the influence of a stress absorbing membrane interlayer (SAMI) on these stresses is examined and compared with the case for the overlay placed directly on the cracked pavement. |
