THICKNESS DESIGN. ASPHALT PAVEMENTS FOR HIGHWAYS AND STREETS
This manual presents a structural thickness design procedure for pavements utilizing asphalt cement or emulsified asphalt in all, or part, of the structure. Included are various combinations of asphalt concrete surface, emulsified asphalt surface (with surface treatment), asphalt concrete base, emulsified asphalt base, and untreated aggregate base or subbase. Guidelines are offered for defining subgrade properties, material properties, and traffic values required for the selection of appropriate thicknesses of the pavement layers. In addition, there are procedures for stage construction design and economic analysis. This report also includes recommended compaction requirements.
