Investigation of the FAA Overlay Design Procedures for Rigid Pavements.

Abstract

The existing FAA overlay design procedures and their history of development are first briefly presented in the report. This is followed by a detailed summary of consultant's reports, which include the identification of deficiencies in the existing procedures with suggested improvements. Immediate improvements to several items in the existing procedures are presented for use as new paragraphs and modification of existing paragraphs in the FAA Advisory Circular. Items to be addressed in a Phase II continuation study are presented. (Author)
