Abstract:

This report documents the procedure that was used to back-calculate, in mass, the elastic properties for both flexible and rigid pavements in the Long-Term Pavement Program (LTPP) program using layered elastic analyses. Obtaining these elastic layer properties for use in further data analyses and studies regarding pavement performance was the primary objective of this study.
