Book excerpt: Concrete overlay of deteriorated asphalt pavements (whitetopping) has been a viable alternative to improve the pavement's structural integrity for over six decades. The thickness of such overlay usually exceeds five inches. In the last few years, however, a newer technology has emerged which is commonly known as Ultra Thin Whitetopping (UTW). UTW is a construction technique, which involves placement of a thinner (than normal) thickness ranging from 2 to 4 inches. he intent of this research study is to identify and address important factors that contribute to the performance of the UTW pavement system. It is also the goal of this research to present an interim design procedure fine tuned by further observation of UTW systems.
