Pavement

This Supplement is intended to assist those required to plan and design new pavements for lightly trafficked situations. It caters for design traffic up to 105 ESA for flexible pavements and 106 Heavy Vehicle Axle Groups for rigid pavements. It is a Supplement to the Austroads publication Pavement Design - A Guide to the Structural Design of Road Pavements (Austroads 2004). The Supplement covers the assessment of input parameters needed for design, design methods for flexible and rigid pavements, example design charts for lightly trafficked roads and gives guidance on the economic comparison of alternative pavement designs.
