Application of the reflective cracking phenomenon in the pavement overlay design

An asphalt concrete overlay layer placed above a cracked layer is subjected to four primary distress mechanisms due to traffic loads: tensile strain at the bottom of the overlay; tensile strain at bottom of the existing surface course; compressive strain at the top of the unbound layers, and reflect...
