This paper examines the impact of various interface modeling techniques for undowelled transverse joints on the technical service life of whitetopping overlays. Calibrated and validated multi-layer models of an existing whitetopping test track were modeled with four different modeling approaches, to simulate the interface behavior of the undowelled transverse joints. Finite-element calculations using these multi-layer models were performed for the determination of traffic load stresses, which were further used as input parameters for the determination of the technical service life of the modeled whitetopping pavements. The resulting values for the technical service life were analyzed based on the influence of the different interface modeling approaches.
