• Abstract:
  The design guideline for low-volume roads over high Plasticity Index (PI) clays is referred to as the Expert System for Pavement Remediation Strategies (ExSPRS). This program can be used to evaluate the structural and performance adequacy of low-volume flexible pavement designs and to achieve cost-effective designs with appropriate modifications. The program mimics the human expert decision making process for this purpose. This document provides a user’s guide to Version 1.0 of ExSPRS. Although the focus of this research is for Texas, the new design guidelines will be helpful to other states with similar problems.
