Background
Whitetopping is the process of rehabilitating asphalt concrete (AC) pavements using a concrete overlay
There are three types of whitetopping:Conventional: thickness > 8 in.Thin: thickness = 4-8 in.Ultra-thin: thickness < 4 in.

Analysis Results• The critical response, maximum transverse
tensile stress, was found at the bottom of the thin whitetopping (TWT) layer
• It varied from 75 psi for bonded 7.5-in. TWT to as much as 442 psi for unbonded 5-in. TWT

Computation of Service Life
• In PCA method, allowable load repetitions are calculated based on the stress ratio (= calculated tensile stress/modulus of rupture)
• If the stress ratio is less than 0.45, the pavement can take unlimited load repetitions
![Page 28: Hossain Extending Asphalt Pavement Life Using Thin Whitetoppingmatc.unl.edu/assets/documents/matcfinal/powerpoints/Jpeg/... · 2013. 4. 15. · Extending Asphalt Pavement Life Using](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022071421/611aa1684fa6dc2c54480acf/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
PCA model
• For S.R. > 0.55
• For 0.45 ≤ S.R. ≤ 0.55
• For SR < 0.45 N=Unlimited
S.R. = ration of flexural stress to modulus of raptureN = number of allowable load repetitions

Conclusions• Interface bonding is the most important
factor that affects the longevity of thin whitetopping
• Bonding has a more pronounced effect on transverse tensile stress for the unpaved shoulder condition than that of the tied and paved shoulder condition
• Thin whitetopping thickness has a more pronounced effect for the unbondedinterface condition than the bonded condition
![Page 34: Hossain Extending Asphalt Pavement Life Using Thin Whitetoppingmatc.unl.edu/assets/documents/matcfinal/powerpoints/Jpeg/... · 2013. 4. 15. · Extending Asphalt Pavement Life Using](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022071421/611aa1684fa6dc2c54480acf/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Conclusions (cont.)
• Tied, paved PCC shoulder decreases stresses in thin whitetopping
• Tied, paved PCC shoulder is particularly useful for unbonded thin whitetopping with low truck traffic
![Page 35: Hossain Extending Asphalt Pavement Life Using Thin Whitetoppingmatc.unl.edu/assets/documents/matcfinal/powerpoints/Jpeg/... · 2013. 4. 15. · Extending Asphalt Pavement Life Using](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022071421/611aa1684fa6dc2c54480acf/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Recommendations
• Field experimentation to investigate actual behavior of thin whitetopping
• The effect of environment, subgrade soil types, and different joint spacing can be investigated
![Page 36: Hossain Extending Asphalt Pavement Life Using Thin Whitetoppingmatc.unl.edu/assets/documents/matcfinal/powerpoints/Jpeg/... · 2013. 4. 15. · Extending Asphalt Pavement Life Using](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022071421/611aa1684fa6dc2c54480acf/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Recommendations (cont.)
• Pavement response under moving loads would give a better approximation of the actual scenario
• Partial bonding at the interface should be investigated as it is very difficult to achieve full bonding in the field
