Utra-Thin Whitetopping Applications in Mexico

Since 1993, tliiee experimcntal test sections have been built in Mexico to study the performance of Ultra-thin Whitetopping (UTW) under different traffic conditions. In this paper, the construction, instrumentation and load testing of an UTW test section built on a major highway is described. Based on the experimental results, UTW can be considered a promising rehabilitation procedure to upgrade major highways with varying degrees of surface deterioration
