AASHTO method of flexible
pavement design
AASHTO method of flexible pavement design.
This design method utilizes four main design
variables:
Time
Traffic and loading
Reliability
Climate.
AASHTO 93
• Material properties and pavement structural
values are evaluated through the use of the
resilient modulus of the sub grade .
• The AASHTO method is a conservative design
method (in other words, pavements can be
over-designed), therefore average values for the
design variables can be used for all
applications.
Serviceability index
• One of the significant outcomes of the AASHO
/AASHTO road test was the pavement serviceability
index, p, and terminal serviceability index, P .

Example
•Determine the asphalt pavement thickness for a
large multi-type vehicle parking facility
(such as a freeway rest area) that will have
2,000,000 ESALs of loading during its design
life. The designer has selected 90 percent
reliability with an overall standard deviation of
0.45. The initial serviceability index is 4.5 and
the terminal serviceability index is 2.0. The
wearing course is a dense graded asphalt mixture.
Example
• The base course is a crushed stone base to be
placed directly over the soil sub grade. The soil
subgrade has a CBR value of 3.3 percent. The
base course thickness should not be greater than
450 mm. There is no sub-base course. The
moisture conditions can be described as good if
for 20 percent of the time the pavement structure
is exposed to moisture levels approaching
saturation
