A GUIDE TO THE STRUCTURAL DESIGN OF PAVEMENTS FOR NEW ROADS
THIS REVISION OF THE 1960 GUIDE TAKES INTO ACCOUNT THE GREAT INCREASE IN COMMERCIAL TRAFFIC VOLUME AND IN COMMERCIAL VEHICLE SIZE. TRAFFIC IS DEFINED MORE REALISTICALLY IN TERMS OF ITS DAMAGING POWER AND DESIGN RECOMMENDATIONS ARE MADE TO REFLECT VERY HEAVY TRAFFIC CONDITIONS. TOPICS COVERED INCLUDE: ESTIMATION OF TRAFFIC FOR DESIGN PURPOSES, DESIGN LIFE OF PAVEMENTS, DESIGN OF FLEXIBLE PAVEMENTS, DESIGN OF CONCRETE PAVEMENTS, DESIGN OF PAVEMENTS WITH A CONTINUOUSLY REINFORCED CONCRETE BASE AND BITUMINOUS SURFACING, DESIGNS INCORPORATING VARIATIONS OF THICKNESS ACROSS THE WIDTH OR THE HIGHWAY, AND DESIGN OF PAVEMENTS TO CARRY SPECIALIZED TRAFFIC OF KNOWN AXLE LOADING.
