The application of paving fabric along with a fresh asphalt overlay has proved its effectiveness in terms of delaying the propagation of reflective cracks. Nevertheless, this application requires an in-depth knowledge of its mechanical performance under cyclic loading during the design life. In this context, rutting resistance and fatigue failure are commonly employed as major performance criteria in mechanistic-based design methods. The objective of this study was to understand the necessary changes in distress prediction models embedded in mechanistic design methods in the presence of paving fabric. Rutting resistance was evaluated using the French Laboratory Rut Tester (FLRT) device and adhesion bond at the interface was studied via a method initially developed in Département de Génie Civil et Bâtiment (DGCB). The results showed that the composite structures including paving fabric had lower rutting resistance, especially at higher number of cycles, but 30 percent enhanced adhesion bond at the interface.

铺路织物与新鲜沥青覆盖层的应用证明了其在延缓反射裂缝传播方面的有效性。然而，该应用需要深入了解其在设计寿命期间在循环载荷下的机械性能。在这种情况下，车辙阻力和疲劳失效通常被用作基于机械的设计方法中的主要性能标准。本研究的目的是了解在铺路织物存在的情况下嵌入机械设计方法中的遇险预测模型的必要变化。使用法国实验室车辙测试仪 (FLRT) 设备评估车辙抗性，并通过最初由 Département de Génie Civil et Bâtiment (DGCB) 开发的方法研究界面处的粘合力。
