pavement design3

This project should include more than one of the items listed and other items as desired: review of literature, numerical analysis, assessment of the current state of practice, design methods, suggestions for improvement supported by appropriate analysis, and/or case studies as closely related as possible.  The project deliverable is a paper written in the Transportation Research Board (TRB) format, which is provided at the link below. Follow formatting for the TRB annual meeting, not the Transportation Research Record (TRR). The only exception to the formatting requirements is to add a Table of Contents after the title page.  The formatting guidelines take some time to digest, which is part of this year’s exercise.  A key element is the paper written cannot exceed the maximum length requirements. Note these papers are not going to be submitted to TRB, or anywhere else, this is only for learning purposes.

The primary objective is to document how layer coefficients (i.e. ai terms such as a1, a2, a3…have been developed). These terms are the most important inputs to determining a pavement’s available structural capacity based on the materials used. Three documents must be referenced as described below, alongside additional sources as needed (only referencing these three documents won’t result in a good grade,
