Bonded concrete overlay of asphalt (BCOA), previously known as ultra-thin whitetopping (UTW), has been widely used to repair aged asphalt concrete (AC) pavements with moderate distresses. Because of the increasing costs of roadway maintenance, Louisiana has a great interest in determining whether thin BCOA (usually 2–6 in.) is a suitable and cost-effective alternative to the current practice of roadway maintenance. The objective of the study was to evaluate the performance of BCOA pavement and to identify the influence of in-situ interface bond strength on the performance of BCOA pavements. Three full-scale BCOA test sections with thicknesses of 6 in., 4 in., and 2 in. of Portland cement concrete (PCC) over an aged asphalt pavement were tested under accelerated pavement test (APT) loading under typical pavement conditions in southern Louisiana. Each section was trafficking-loaded to a failure (i.e., all the slabs in the loading path were cracked) under alternating load magnitudes of 9 kips and 16 kips of the ATLaS dual-tire wheel load. A falling weight deflectometer (FWD) backcalculated the effective thickness, a trench-cutting investigation was undertaken, and in-situ pull-off test revealed that a good bond was established initially between the PCC and AC layer. Several non-destructive test (NDT) methods indicated that the distresses of a BCOA slab could be coupled with a possible debonding at the PCC-asphalt interface. This paper mainly focuses on the APT results and the performance of BCOA test sections with different overlay thickness.
