Title: Development of Rational Overlay Design Procedures for Flexible Pavements
PI: James Crovetti
Transportation Research Center
Marquette University
Project: This study resulted in recommendations for modifying WisDOT's overlay design procedures, including use of an effective structural number assessment procedure, pavement condition and surface deflection measures, and deflection testing. By implementing these recommendations, WisDOT will be able to create more technically sound overlays while providing a transition to the AASHTO mechanistic-empirical design guide.
