Investigating the causes of surface cracking in flexible pavements using improved mathematical models

In the past, surface cracking in flexible pavements was thought to be caused by fatigue of the lower layers. Consequently, cracks in the surface were assumed to be full depth and indicative of a major structural problem. Recent investigations suggest that this is unlikely to be the case and that cra...
