Design Method for Secondary Road Flexible Pavements in Virginia: Also Suggested for Subdivision and Other Road Systems

Report No: 71-R18

Published in 1972

About the report:

The design method for secondary roads is based on AASHO Road Test Results and Virginia's design experience. It is divided into two parts. (1) the evaluation of the soil support value of the subgrade, the thickness equivalencies of the paving materials, and the traffic in terms of vehicles per day; and (2) design considerations such as the determination of the required thickness index of the pavement and the selection of the materials and layer thicknesses to meet the design thickness index.
