and correlated to the results of the penetration tests. Simplified
layer moduli prediction equations were developed for the modified
Dynaflect testing system.
Five of the test pavements were selected for short-term load
induced stress analysis using actual wheel loadings and low temperature
conditions. The effects of age-hardened asphalt, soil type, moisture
content, weak base course and subgrade characteristics on layer stiff
nesses were evaluated to assess the stress-strain response of the
different pavements.
