Overlay design method based on visual pavement distress.
A method for designing the thickness of overlays for bituminous concrete pavements in Virginia is described. In this method the thickness is calculated by rating the amount and severity of observed pavement distress and determining the total accumulated traffic. Ratings for the amount and severity of each type of pavement distress are tabulated in the report, and a chart for calculating the accumulated traffic from the daily traffic counts of different classifications of vehicles is given.
Several bituminous concrete interstate pavements that experienced failures suspected to have been caused by stripping were investigated. On two projec...
The study reported here addresses some of the earlier phases in the development of a pavement management system for the state of Virginia. Among the i...
