INTO A NEW AGE OF PAVEMENT DESIGN: A STRUCTURAL DESIGN GUIDE FOR FLEXIBLE RESIDENTIAL STREET PAVEMENTS

Arrb project 392 research findings are formally implemented through the publication of this design guide. The objective of the design guide is to provide Australian local government authorities with a scientifically based and consistent approach to street pavement and design. It covers the six most important phases in street pavement design: (1) subgrade assessment, (2) traffic assessment, (3) thickness design, (4) pavement materials, (5) pavement surfacing and (6) construction standards. Detailed consideration is given to flexible pavements consisting of unbound component layers, while some passing reference is made to flexible pavements with bound component layers and to pavements constructed with concrete blocks or paving bricks. It is intended that the design guide bring the pavement designer up to date with the latest design procedures pertaining to residential street pavements (a).
