FLEXIBLE PAVEMENT DESIGN AS CURRENTLY PRACTICED IN GEORGIA
FLEXIBLE PAVEMENT DESIGNS AS CURRENTLY PRACTICED IN GEORGIA ARE PRIMARILY BASED ON THE STUDY OF THE FOUNDATIONS OCCURRING ALONG THE PROJECTS BY MEANS OF SURVEYS, ANALYSIS OF SAMPLES REPRESENTING THE VARIOUS HORIZONS OF THE FOUNDATIONS, AND TREATMENT OF THE FOUNDATIONS ACCORDING TO THEIR STRENGTH AND THE CONDITION UNDER WHICH THEY SERVE, ALL COMBINED WITH A UNIFORM DEPTH BASE AND SURFACING, UTILIZING THE AVAILABLE MATERIALS EITHER EXISTING IN THE VICINITY OF OR ECONOMICALLY ACCESSIBLE TO A PROJECT. THE PAPER DESCRIBES THE BASIC FACTORS CONSIDERED AND THE MANNER IN WHICH THEY ARE INCORPORATED INTO FLEXIBLE PAVEMENT DESIGN. /AUTHOR/
