Mechanical Response and Anti-Reflective Crack Design in New Asphalt Overlays on Existing Asphalt Overlaying Composite Portland Cement Pavement by Jianping Gao, Zhixiong Qiu, Chunlong Xiong

“…This system was constructed to solve problems with the detection, evaluation, and structural and material design of asphalt rehabilitation for the prevention and control of asphalt reflection cracks in asphalt overlaying composite Portland cement pavement. Based on the detected data from the GPR and FWD, the reasonable and recommended thickness range of the stress-absorbing layer was determined by the finite element method, and the optimization design of an anti-reflective crack structure is proposed. …”
