Presented in this report is a theoretical study of the effects of varying the modulus and thickness of asphalt concrete surfacing materials. Three typical flexible pavement design problems at two levels of hot mix asphaltic concrete (HMAC) elastic modulus are analyzed using linear elastic theory. Specific findings are: (1) the use of an HMAS modulu
