Technical basis of Austroads pavement design guide

The Austroads publication �Pavement Design � A Guide to the Structural Design of Road Pavements� is intended to assist those required to plan and design new pavements. It was originally produced in 1987 as a result of review of the NAASRA �Interim Guide to Pavement Thickness Design� (1979). In 1992, the Guide was revised to include an updated procedure for the design of rigid pavements and also relevant portions of Chapter 6 (Pavement Materials) and Chapter 7 (Design Traffic). An essential element in the use of the Guide is a thorough understanding of the origins of the design procedures, their scope and limitations. Accordingly, this report contains four technical reports detailing the technical basis of both the 1992 and 2004 editions of the Guide. (a)
