Abstract:It is beyond the scope of this study to attempt to isolate the effect of individual design assumptions on pavement life.
A performance evaluation (to determine present serviceability, end of life, etc.) of selected Portland Cement Concrete (P.C.C.) and hot mixed asphaltic concrete (H.M.A.C.) pavements would seem to be a more straightforward means of determining whether or not design life is being realized. If a majority of the pavements evaluated have not failed prior to carrying their designed loads, the design system could be deemed adequate. On the other hand, if pavement failures are evidenced prior to the accumulation of design traffic loads, more conservative design assumptions could help extend pavement service life.
