Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) sample questions are also provided in each chapter. Lec 29, Ch.20, pp.990-1007: AASTHO flexible pavement design method (objectives) Know the factors considered in the AASHTO design method Become familiar with use of Tables 20.13a and b through 20.18 and Figures 20.15 through 20. Each design topic is covered in separate, modular chapters, enabling you to tailor a course of study.
Pavement Design: Materials, Analysis, and Highways shows, step by step, how to apply the latest, software-based AASHTOWare Pavement Mechanistic-Empirical Design method. Written by two seasoned civil engineering educators, the book contains precise explanations of traditional and computerized mechanistic design methods along with detailed examples of real-world pavement and highway projects. The basis of the AASHTO 1993 flexible pavement design method was a landmark pavement performance test (AASHO Road Tests) conducted in the late 1950s near Ottawa, Illinois, at a cost of 27 million (1960 dollars). This student-friendly textbook offers comprehensive coverage of pavement design and highways. View 8- Flexible Pavement Design-AASHTO Method.ppt from CIVIL ENGI 12 at COMSATS Institute of Information Technology, Wah. Higher SN means stronger pavement, thus the impact of traffic on pavement deteriorations is less. So, we must check if the final SN 3 is similar to the assumed SN.

Master the principles, analysis, and design in pavement engineering. The minimum values in the design thickness table are more conservative than would be determined using the. In the AASHTO flexible pavement design, traffic is considered in terms of ESAL for the terminal PSI (Table 20.13 for p t 2.5.) We must assume the structural number of the pavement.
