• Abstract:
  Traditionally, rigid pavement design has been accomplished through empirically based procedures. Probably the most well-known procedure for highway pavements, the AASHTO Method, was based on the AASHO Road Test held near Ottowa, Illinois between 1958 and 1960. The design procedure utilized empirical relationships developed from the AASHO Road Test and is therefore limited to the conditions of that test. All empirically-based methods share this same common disadvantage in that they are limited to the conditions and observations of the particular road sections on which the procedure was based. This can cause problems by forcing designers to extrapolate outside the original bounds of the method.
