In this report, several of the factors that affect Dynaflect deflections in rigid pavements are analyzed. Findings from this study are incorporated into a recommended procedure for the use of the Dynaf1ect. The Slab-49 program is used to simulate voids of various sizes under a continuously reinforced concrete pavement. The effect of a placement err

Fabric underseals were placed in asphalt concrete overlay systems in four different regions of Texas in 1979 and 1980. The overlaid pavements included asphalt concrete, portland cement concrete and a freshly cold-milled asphalt concrete. Relative reflection cracking has been evaluated annually on these test sections for up to three years. Laborator

The report examines the comparative costs of gravel-surfaced and paved roads capable of carrying traffic safely at 55 m.p.h. Gravel surfaces are found to be a practical alternative to asphalt concrete pavement for rural highways in many areas in Alaska. Construction costs are significantly less as a result of the elimination of paving costs and dif
