Fatigue and rutting criteria were developed and incorporated into a design procedure for flexible overlays of flexible pavements. The AASHO Road Test flexible pavement sections were used as a data base. Vol. 1 contains a summary of the overlay design procedure as well as a comparison with existing procedures. Vol. 2 is a user's manual for thickness design of flexible overlays for flexible pavements.

This study represents the development of a mechanistic approach to asphaltic concrete overlay thickness selection for overlays of flexible, rigid, and composite pavements. The procedure utilizes a deflection analysis to determine pavement rehabilitation needs. Design guides for selecting the overlay thicknesses are presented. Tolerable deflection-traffic load relationships and the deflection attenuation properties of asphaltic concrete have been developed, representing the subgrade support conditions and properties of materials used in Louisiana. All deflection measurements on asphaltic concrete have been corrected for the effect of temperature.
