Back to Basics Series: Pavement Design
Date: Thursday, September 28, 2:00–3:30 p.m. EDT
Speaker: Dr. Kevin Hall, Ph.D., P.E., University of Arkansas
Flexible pavement design has undergone numerous changes since the AASHO Road Test a half-century ago. This webinar will detail how flexible pavements work to carry traffic and how this impacts design considerations. Some details on mechanistic-empirical design will be covered, too, but the primary purpose of this webinar is to provide a basic understanding of the AASHTO 93 Design Guide and how to apply it.
Key Takeaways:
• Identify and describe key factors considered in structural pavement design;
• Select appropriate input values and perform calculations necessary to estimate required pavement thickness using current AASHTO procedures;
• Optimize thickness design to produce the most cost-effective pavement structure;
• Discuss general design principles of mechanistic-empirical pavement design.
