The thin whitetopping pavement (“white layer”), is an alternative of overlaying on asphalt pavements. The technology consists of laying a thin rigid pavement on the asphalt pavement, taking the latter one as a sub-base. (Harrington and Fick 2014). Worldwide, research on thin whitetopping is recent, it is carried out mainly in developed countries that handle advanced technology in terms of rigid pavements. The interest about studying it could be indicated mainly in terms of its comparison with asphalt overlays, in that sense: it competes with traditional thicknesses of overlaying asphalt, requires less maintenance, which implies greater economy and also has a longer useful life (in addition to other virtues). The purpose of the research was to determine the behavior of non-adhered thin whitetopping pavement slab designs, made with and without galvanized steel mesh and high- resistance concrete against stresses produced by traffic and temperature. The steel mesh placed in the lower part, as well as the high-strength concrete were used with the intention of increasing the flexural strength modulus. The research combines the characterization of inputs, the use of formulas derived from Westergaard equations called "direct formulas", the use of nomograms of the methodology widely used today; the PCA (Portland Cement Association) method, in addition to the existing regulations in the country on the classification of pavements based on the number of admissible repetitions of equivalent axles. Laboratory tests are to characterize the materials in terms of their physical-mechanical properties with respect to concrete were: unit weight, Poisson's ratio, Young's modulus of elasticity, compressive strength and with respect to normalized joists with and without reinforcing mesh: resistance to bending. The results obtained were combined with: slab dimensions, front axle loads per tire (according to the values indicated by the Peruvian Standard) and modulus of subgrade reaction, indicated by the authors Mustaque Hossain & Sharmin Sultana (University of Kansas) and the PCA (Portland Cement Association). All of them were used as inputs of "direct formulas" to obtain the stresses at the edges, corner and center of each proposed design. Then proceeded to obtain the relative stresses (quotient between the calculated stress and the allowable stress obtained in the laboratory in the standard joists), with which it is possible to calculate the number of accumulated allowable repetitions of standardized equivalent axles for axle or front load using of the PCA monograms. Finally, with this last piece of information; determine the type of road that could be applied to each design according to the Peruvian Highway Standard. The results indicate that, for the conditions studied: the use of the 10cm thickness for slabs with and without reinforcement for all types of traffic is ruled out. And that thicknesses of reinforced slab from 12cm and higher could be used. The work provides tables that indicate the number of repetitions of admissible load and its classification according to Peruvian Regulations for each design, depending on: the reaction modulus of the subbase, which would be obtained directly from the pavement to be overlaid and tentative thicknesses.
