• Abstract:
  Recommendations are given to improve design and construction of asphalt concrete overlays containing a fabric interlayer installed to reduce the severity or to delay the occurrence of reflection cracking. Improvements in specifications for fabrics and overlays are suggested. Realistic criteria for fabrics, overlays and construction procedures are given. Methods of determining life cycle costs and selecting the appropriate pavement rehabilitation alternative are discussed. Research is continuing under Study 433, "Evaluation of Fabric Test Pavements," and final results and recommendations will be made under Study 433.
