• Abstract:
  Design of flexible pavement is a complex procedure involving numerous variables. The systems approach can be considered as the best method for solving design problems. An important part of any pavement design system involves upgrading it in order to include the best possible technology. One of the distress mechanisms included in the conceptual flexible pavement design system, as a part of the fracture failure mode, is fatigue of the pavement materials. Its consideration on some rational basis and stochastic variations of the material properties in space and time need particular attention in the development of a working systems model.
