Samenvatting
Chart solutions for critical response parameters in two-layer pavements are developed using dimensional analysis. Multilayer elastictheory is applied, and simple dimensionless variables for critical response parameters are related to pavement geometry, material properties, and loading conditions. The solutions presented provide a comprehensive assessment of the physical behavior of two-layer systems under a wide variety of input variables. The proposed solutions are applied in the design and analysis of pavements using both functional and structural failure considerations.
