THE USE OF CANADIAN PAVEMENT EVALUATION DATA FOR DESIGN.

THE EXISTING DESIGN PROCEDURES FOR HIGHWAY PAVEMENTS ARE ALL ORIENTED TOWARDS A SPECIFIC PAVEMENT TECHNOLOGY. A COMMON DESIGN FRAMEWORK IS NOT AVAILABLE TO PERMIT THE SYSTEMATIC EVALUATION OF A VARIETY OF PAVEMENT DESIGN ALTERNATIVES. SEPARATE DESIGN PROCEDURES EXIST FOR FLEXIBLE, RIGID AND STABILIZED BASE COURSE PAVEMENTS. THE PRIMARY OBJECTIVE OF THIS PAPER IS TO FORMULATE A GENERAL DESIGN FRAMEWORK FOR HIGHWAY PAVEMENTS. A SECOND OBJECTIVE IS TO DEMONSTRATE HOW THE PAVEMENT PERFORMANCE DATA COLLECTED BY CGRA'S COMMITTEE ON PAVEMENT DESIGN AND EVALUATION CAN BE ORGANIZED WITHIN THIS FRAMEWORK AND USED TO MAKE MORE OBJECTIVE PAVEMENT DESIGN DECISIONS. /CGRA/
