PILOT PROGRAM FOR EVALUATION OF STRUCTURAL ADEQUACY OF FLEXIBLE PAVEMENTS FOR COUNTIES AND MUNICIPALITIES

Using presently available technology, methodology was developed for evaluating flexible pavement on a system basis. It was hoped that the results could be used for setting more realistic load restrictions and designing and programming improvements on a priority basis. Data were collected on about 125 miles (200 km) of roadway in each of three counties and on about one mile (1.6 km) of street in each of six municipalities. Data consisted of a traffic study and a structural study. (FHWA)
