• Abstract:
  This manual describes a mechanistic overlay design procedure for use in the state of Alaska. This procedure is based upon the fundamental characteristics of pavement layer properties and uses a linear elastic program ELSYM5 to determine strains at critical locations. The tensile strain at the bottom of the surface layer is used to control fatigue, while the compressible strain on top of the sub-grade is used to control rutting. Failure criteria developed by the Asphalt Institute are used to determine pavement life. Seasonal effects on pavement layer properties and traffic are also considered. Miner's rule is used to address total pavement damage for all seasons. A comprehensive example illustrating the design procedure is presented.
