1).įigure 1 – Typical cross sections for flexible paved road.Įxisting design methods for flexible pavements include empirical methods, limiting shear failure methods, limiting deflection methods, regression methods, and mechanistic-empirical methods. On top of the base course is the surface course that typically consists of a mixture of mineral aggregates and bituminous materials (fig. It usually consists of aggregates such as crushed stone, or crushed gravel and sand. The base course is constructed on top of the subbase course, or if no subbase is used, directly on the roadbed soil. A subbase course is constructed on top of the prepared roadbed, and may be omitted if the subgrade soil is of a high quality. Flexible pavements generally consist of a prepared subgrade layer which is the roadbed soil or borrow material compacted to a specified density. The current AASHTO design method has been modified to account for the structural contribution of Tenax integral extruded Geogrids.
