Evaluation of Membrane Interlayers for Prevention of Crack Reflection in Thin Overlays.
This report is the final report resulting from case studies of pavement performance conducted by the U. S. Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station as requested by the U. S. Army Forces Command, Fort McPherson, Ga. The purpose of this study was to determine if a layer consisting of an asphalt-rubb...
