MECHANISTIC DESIGN CONCEPTS FOR STABILIZED BASE PAVEMENTS

Concepts for a mechanistic based thickness design procedure for high strength stabilized base pavements are presented. The proposed procedure is based on stabilized layer fatigue consumption and an ILLI-PAVE based algorithm for estimating stabilized layer flexural stress. The design concept can easily be developed into a comprehensive practical thickness design procedure for Illinois DOT utilization. Appendix A is a State-of-the-Art summary entitled "The Selection of Stress-Strain, Strength, and Fatigue Relationships for Use in Mechanistic Design Procedures." Appendix B is an "ILLI-PAVE Data Base for Stabilized Base Pavements."
