Reviewed by licensed engineers
Checked against its sources by licensed professional engineers on the previous site, where reviewers weren’t recorded by name.
HMA structural overlays are used to increase rigid pavement structural capacity. Therefore, they are considered rehabilitation, although they typically have some maintenance-type benefits as well. Although the specific constants used may be different, flexible overlays of rigid pavement are designed in the same basic manner as flexible overlays of flexible pavement.
