AN INTEGRATED APPROACH TO ANALYSIS AND DESIGN OF PAVEMENT STRUCTURE

THE NATURE OF GENERAL ENGINEERING DECISION-MAKING IS DISCUSSED IN TERMS OF THREE PHASES: GOAL FORMULATION, SEARCH, AND SELECTION. PAVEMENT DESIGN IS DISCUSSED WITHIN THIS LOGICAL FRAMEWORK. IT IS ARGUED THAT ONLY BY USING AN ORDERLY AND WELL-DOCUMENTED APPROACH TO DESIGN AND ANALYSIS WILL THE PAVEMENT FIELD BE ABLE TO KEEP PLACE WITH RAPIDLY EXPANDING ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY. SOME EXPLICIT SEARCH AND SELECTION TECHNIQUES ARE SUGGESTED FOR BOTH THEIR IMMEDIATE USEFULNESS AND AS EXAMPLES OF THE MANY NEW TOOLS BECOMING AVAILABLE THROUGH THE USE OF THE COMPUTER. A HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE IS DESCRIBED TO DEMONSTRATE THE APPLICATION OF THE IDEAS IN THE PAPER. /AUTHOR/
