Guide to pavement technology: part 2: pavement structural design

Knowledge of pavement technology is of critical importance for all transport agencies in Australia and New Zealand. Austroads and others (e.g. state and territory road agencies, local government, and industry) have amassed a great deal of knowledge on pavement technologies, techniques, and considerations. The purpose of the Austroads Guide to Pavement Technology is to assemble this knowledge into a single authoritative electronic publication that will be a readily available, accessible and comprehensive resource for practitioners in Australia and New Zealand. The target audience for the Austroads Guide to Pavement Technology includes all those involved with the management of roads, including industry, and students seeking to learn more about the fundamental concepts, principles, issues and procedures associated with pavement technology. Guide to Pavement Technology Part 2: Pavement Structural Design provides advice for the structural design of sealed road pavements. The advice has been generally developed from the approaches followed by the Austroads member agencies. However, as it encompasses the wide range of materials and conditions found in Australia and New Zealand, some parts are broadly based. This Part covers the assessment of input parameters needed for design, design methods for flexible and rigid pavements and gives guidance on the economic comparisons of alternative pavement designs.
