Development of Design Guide for Thin and Ultra-Thin Concrete Overlays of Existing Asphalt Pavements

Status:  Complete
Report Date:  12/21/2011

Summary:

The existing ultra-thin whitetopping (UTW) and thin whitetopping (TWT) design methods are reviewed so that any gaps in the design process can be identified. Four design methods are included, namely the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) method, the New Jersey Department of Transportation method, the Portland Cement Association (PCA) method, and the Illinois Centre for Transportation (ICT) method. The structural response and performance models used in these methods are evaluated using field data from the whitetopping sections at MnROAD.
