DESIGN OF ASPHALT CONCRETE OVERLAY OF JOINTED PLAIN
CONCRETE PAVEMENT
Covers the design of Asphalt Concrete Overlays of existing Jointed Plain Concrete
Pavement which have been overlaid with Asphalt Concrete at least once
Where:
𝐷𝑜𝑙 = Required thickness of AC overlay, inches
𝐴 = Factor to convert PCC thickness deficiency to AC overlay thickness
𝐷𝑓 = Slab thickness to carry future traffic, inches,
𝐷𝑒𝑓𝑓 = Effective equivalent PCC slab thickness of existing AC/PCC, inches

Bonded concrete overlays have been placed on jointed plain concrete pavements to improve
both structural capacity and functional condition. The thickness of bonded PCC overlay is
determined using the equation below:

This design procedure involves cracking the PCC slab into small segments, seating the
segments with heavy rollers to eliminate underlying voids and overlying the PCC slab
with AC. The following equation is used to determine the required thicknes :
