Abstract

This report reviews the state-of-the-practice in low-volume road pavement design. The factors which dictate pavement design are discussed in terms of construction materials, environment, and traffic. Eight different design procedures are presented and discussed. These include the 1972 and 1986 AASHTO guides, the Asphalt Institute, Minnesota Department of Transportation, Wisconsin Department of Transportation, National Crushed Stone Association, Shell Netherlands, and National Association of Australian State Road Authorities.
