• Abstract:
  The objectives of the research was three-fold: 1) to evaluate alternative base courses with similar structural capacity but with variable shrinkage cracking potential, 2) to analyze the performance data obtained from fullscale field test lanes at the Pavement Research Facility, and 3) to compare the actual field performance with predictions from analytical models such as VESYS 3 A-M and FLEXPASS.
