A NEW METHOD OF TRAFFIC EVALUATION FOR PAVEMENT DESIGN

MOST PROCEDURES CURRENTLY USED FOR STRUCTRUAL AND GEOMETRIC DESIGN OF PAVEMENTS FAIL TO TREAT ADEQUATELY EFFECTS OF MIXED TRAFFIC ON PAVEMENT LIFE. THE EFFECTS OF MAGNITUDE, CONFIGURATION, AND NUMBER OF REPETITIONS OF VARIOUS WHEEL LOADS SHOULD BE INCLUDED AS VARIABLES IN ANY GOOD PAVEMENT DESIGN PROCEDURE. AN ANALYSIS OF AXLE LOADS OBSERVED ON TEXAS HIGHWAYS IS USED WITH EQUIVALENCE FACTORS DEVELOPED AT THE RECENTLY COMPLETED AASHO ROAD TEST TO DEVELOP A PRACTICAL METHOD FOR ANALYZING THE DAMAGING EFFECTS OF MIXED TRAFFIC. THE METHOD OF TRAFFIC EVALUATION CAN BE ADAPTED FOR USE WITH MANY DIFFERENT DESIGN PROCEDURES /AUTHOR/.
