THE ASCE PORT AND INTERMODAL YARD PAVEMENT DESIGN GUIDE

The ASCE Ports and Harbors Committee is in the process of developing a pavement design guide tailored for the intensive loading conditions encountered in container terminals and intermodal yards. The guide presented in this paper is intended to provide a comprehensive reference of alternative design procedures and material options available to engineers undertaking the design of the pavements for such a facility. This synopsis of the design guide includes the rational for the application of existing tools available to the user.
