Design of overlays based on pavement condition, roughness, and deflections
Abstract
The development and use of a pavement maintenance rating system and the development of two procedures for designing the thickness of overlays are summarized. It is demonstrated that objective rating systems can be used to prioritize pavements scheduled for resurfacing and that the procedures for overlay design based on the existing pavement structure and on traffic loadings are practical.
