ILLI-PAVE BASED THICKNESS DESIGN CONCEPTS AND PRACTICES FOR SURFACE TREATMENT PAVEMENT

This report includes the following: Mechanistic-Empirical (M-E) based thickness design concepts and practices for Surface Treatment Pavements (STPs); design criteria for considering STP rutting; ILLI-PAVE based STP response algorithms for surface deflection, subgrade, deviator stress, and subgrade stress ratio; various procedures for selecting a "Design Subgrade Eri"; and design charts to facilitate selecting appropriate granular base thickness.
