Abstract
There is a method to place thin cement concrete overlay on an asphalt concrete pavement as one of the rehabilitation methods for improving an existing asphalt pavement. However this method doesn't become popular at present. In this research, to begin with, applying the theory of a beam on Winkler foundation, we will investigate the stress analysis procedure of pavement slabs. Next, we will investigate the model of composite structure that consists of a thin cement concrete layer and an existing asphalt pavement layer, taking the degree of bond between these two layers into consideration. We will combine the results of these two investigations and establish the design procedure of the thin layer cement concrete overlay as a composite pavement.
