DEVELOPMENT OF LAYERED ELASTIC ANALYSIS PROCEDURE FOR PREDICTION OF FATIGUE AND RUTTING STRAINS IN CEMENT STABILIZED LATERITIC BASE OF LOW VOLUME ROADS
ABSTRACT It is generally known that the major causes of failure in asphalt pavement is fatigue cracking and rutting deformation, caused by excessive horizontal tensile strain at the bottom of the asphalt layer and vertical compressive strain on top of the subgrade due to repeated traffic loading. In the design of asphalt pavement, it is necessary to investigate these critical strains and design against them. This study was conducted to ...
