Experimental composite pavements were constructed at MnROAD in Minnesota and the University of California Pavement Research Center at Davis, where the pavements were instrumented and monitored under climate and heavy traffic loadings. A composite pavement consisting of HMA over jointed plain concrete also was constructed in the field by the Illinois Tollway north of Chicago. At the Tollway, extensive field surveys were performed on 64 sections of the two types of composite pavements. This project also evaluated, improved, and further validated applicable structural, climatic, material, and performance prediction models, and design algorithms that are included in the AASHTO MEPDG and DARWin-ME, CalME, NCHRP 1-41 reflection cracking, NCHRP 9-30A rutting, and the Lattice bonding model.

Composite pavement systems have shown the potential for becoming a cost-effective pavement alternative for highways with high and heavy traffic volumes, especially in Europe. This study investigated the design and performance of composite pavement structures composed of a flexible layer (top-most layer) over a rigid base. The report compiles (1) a literature review of composite pavement systems in the U.S. and worldwide; (2) an evaluation of the state-of-the-practice in the U.S. obtained using a survey; (3) an investigation of technical aspects of various alternative composite pavement systems designed using available methodologies and mechanistic-empirical pavement distress models (fatigue, rutting, and reflective cracking); and (4) a preliminary life cycle cost analysis (LCCA) to study the feasibility of the most promising composite pavement systems. Composite pavements, when compared to traditional flexible or rigid pavements, have the potential to become a cost-effective alternative because they may provide better levels of performance, both structurally and functionally, than the traditional flexible and rigid pavement designs. Therefore, they can be viable options for high volume traffic corridors. Countries, such as the U.K. and Spain, which have used composite pavement systems in their main road networks, have reported positive experiences in terms of functional and structural performance. Composite pavement structures can provide long-life pavements that offer good serviceability levels and rapid, cost-effective maintenance operations, which are highly desired, especially for high-volume, high-priority corridors. Composite pavements mitigate various structural and functional problems that typical flexible or rigid pavements tend to present, such as hot-mix asphalt (HMA) fatigue cracking, subgrade rutting, portland cement concrete (PCC) erosion, and PCC loss of friction, among others. At the same time, though, composite systems are potentially more prone to other distresses, such as reflective cracking and rutting within the HMA layer. Premium HMA surfaces and/or reflective cracking mitigation techniques may be required to mitigate these potential problems. At the economic level, the results of the deterministic agency-cost LCCA suggest that the use of a composite pavement with a cement-treated base (CTB) results in a cost-effective alternative for a typical interstate traffic scenario. Alternatively, a composite pavement with a continuously reinforced concrete pavement (CRCP) base may become more cost-effective for very high volumes of traffic. Further, in addition to savings in agency cost, road user cost savings could also be important, especially for the HMA over CRCP composite pavement option because it would not require any lengthy rehabilitation actions, as is the case for the typical flexible and rigid pavements.

"Composite pavements have proved in Europe and the United States to have long service life with excellent surface characteristics, structural capacity, and rapid renewal when needed. Based on statistics compiled in 2000, approximately 30% of the urban interstate system and just over 20% of the rural interstate system is classified as "composite" pavement. In most cases the composite pavements are the result of maintenance and rehabilitation activities and not intentionally designed new composite pavement systems. This project developed the guidance needed to design and construct new composite pavement systems. The research determined the behavior, properties, and performance for both HMA/PCC and the PCC/PCC composite pavements under many climate and traffic conditions. Experimental composite pavements were constructed at MnROAD in Minnesota and the University of California Pavement Research Center at Davis, where the pavements were instrumented and monitored under climate and heavy traffic loadings. A composite pavement consisting of HMA over jointed plain concrete also was constructed in the field by the Illinois Tollway north of Chicago. At the Tollway, extensive field surveys were performed on 64 sections of the two types of composite pavements. This project also evaluated, improved, and further validated applicable structural, climatic, material, and performance prediction models, and design algorithms that are included in the AASHTO MEPDG and DARWin-ME, CalME, NCHRP 1-41 reflection cracking, NCHRP 9-30A rutting, and the Lattice bonding model. The current DARWin-ME overlay design procedure for HMA/PCC and a special R21 version of the Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide (MEPDG [v. 1.3000:R21]) can be used for new PCC/PCC composite pavements. The key to the sustainable features of new composite pavements is the ability to use higher levels of recycled materials in the lower concrete layer. Additionally, the thickness of the lower concrete layer can be reduced when considering the insulating effect of the top pavement surface. Intentionally designed and constructed composite pavements will help highway agencies meet the goal of building economical, sustainable pavement structures that use higher levels of recycled materials and locally available materials"--Foreword.

The main objective of this study was to evaluate the ability of a new asphalt composite pavement design to economically reduce rutting on asphalt pavements. In addition, the longevity of the pavement was to be assessed by determining the durability and permeability of the seal, its resistance to moisture damage in the lower layers of the pavement, and the overall pavement performance. The performance data do not support the use of the rut-resistant composite pavement (RRCP) design. Although there were only a few failures due to stripping, the extent of the failures was significant enough to warrant discontinuing the RRCP design. The failure mechanism in the RRCP was not due to rutting or cracking, but appears to be directly associated with stripping caused by hydrostatic pressure immediately below the plant mixed seal coat (PMSC) layer. The conditions which are present when stripping occurs are heavy traffic, high temperatures, and the presence of moisture.
