LOW VOLUME ROAD PAVEMENT DESIGN: A REVIEW OF PRACTICE IN THE UPPER MIDWEST

The objective of this report is to present a synthesis of low volume road pavement design with an emphasis on how it is practiced in the Upper Midwest of the United States. Several low volume road design methods are presented representing a range in approaches from empirical to mechanistic-empirical. The design procedures presented also vary from those that are globally applicable to those which were developed for specific climatic regions. The report concludes with a review of local design practice in Minnesota.
