Description
Abstract. Reflective cracking is a critical distress in asphalt overlays. Numerous test methods and modeling approaches have been proposed to predict its severity and/or extent. These approaches range from the purely empirical to highly mechanistic. This presentation briefly reviews these approaches and suggests an experimentally and analytically balanced approach to predict reflective cracking in asphalt overlays.
