Mechanistic modelling of weak interlayers in flexible and semi-flexible road pavements: Part 2
Journal of the South African Institution of Civil Engineers, 2012 This paper (Part 2 of a two-part set of papers) discusses models and illustrates the adverse effects of weak layers, interlayers, laminations and/or weak interfaces in flexible and semi-flexible pavements, also incorporating lightly cemented layers.
