Abstract:

The Federal Highway Administration has worked cooperatively with the ; American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials in ; developing and updating the pavement design guide. The current guide is ; slated to be updated by the year 2002 to better reflect the changing priority ; of rehabilitating the nation’s highways rather than building new ones. In ; contrast to the current guide that many transportation experts believe is ; outdated, the new guide is expected to incorporate the use of analytical ; methods to predict pavement performance under various loading and ; climatic conditions. Sponsors believe that “a new design approach will ; more realistically characterize existing highway pavements and improve ; the reliability of designs.”
