Overview of Asphalt Concrete Pavement Design
When a pavement is too thin the strength of thesubgrade is exceeded and the pavementexperiences high strain causing it to fatigue andeventually fail.

Design ConsiderationsThe method of design provided in the AASHTO Guideincludes consideration of the following items:
Pavement performance – the pavement’sstructural and functional performance.
• STRUCTURAL PERFORMANCE - The expectation ofthe pavement thickness to provide sufficientstructural strength to sustain the traffic loads overthe performance period;
•
FUNCTIONAL PERFORMANCE - The expectation ofthe level of “service” a pavement type will provideto the road user over its life. The dominantcomponent of serviceability is riding comfort or ridequality. Safety is also a consideration.

Pavement performance (continued) – AASHTOGuide… “The serviceability -performance concept isbased on five fundamental assumptions, summarized asfollows:1. Highways are for the comfort and convenience of
the travelling public (User)
2. Comfort or riding quality, is a matter of subjectiveresponse or the opinion of the User.3. Serviceability can be expressed by the mean of the
ratings given by all highway Users and is termed theserviceability rating.
4. There are physical characteristics of a pavementwhich can be measured objectively and which canbe related to subjective evaluations. This procedureproduces an objective serviceability index.
5. Performance can be represented by theserviceability history of a pavement.”

Pavement performance,Traffic – consists of the amount, type and weight ofvehicles that are expected to use the roadway. Onlytruck use of a roadway facility is considered since itis these types of vehicles that are sufficiently heavyto damage the pavement.

Design ConsiderationsThe method of design provided in the AASHTO Guideincludes consideration of the following items:
Pavement performance, Traffic,Roadbed soil – roadbed soil is the foundation onwhich the pavement will be constructed. Soilstrength must be known such that the pavementthickness is sufficient to spread the load induced by
heavy vehicles on the soil without the soil deforming(rutting).

Pavement performance, Traffic, Roadbed soil, Materials of construction,Environment – addresses the impact ofenvironment on foundation/subgrade strength.Seasonal impacts of wet, dry, freeze, non-freezeenvironments will affect strength of soil and non- stabilized materials (e.g. crushed stone base).

Design ConsiderationsThe method of design provided in the AASHTO Guideincludes consideration of the following items:
Pavement performance, Traffic, Roadbed soil, Materials of construction Environment,Drainage – drainage (or lack thereof) impactsfoundation/subgrade strength, and as such, impactsthe pavement thickness. Saturated soil is weakerthan dry soil. Weak soils require greater thickness.ODOT always assumes that drainage will be providedin all pavement build-ups.

Design ConsiderationsThe method of design provided in the AASHTO Guideincludes consideration of the following items:
Pavement performance, Traffic, Roadbed soil, Materials of construction Environment, Drainage,Reliability – Provides consideration of uncertainties inboth traffic predictions and performance predictions.Reliability is used as a safety factor. A higher level ofreliability is used in the design computations when greaterassurance is needed that the pavement will not fail duringits life.

“LAYERED DESIGN ANALYSIS”
DETERMINE THE MAXIMUM ALLOWABLETHICKNESS OF EACH UNBOUND LAYER (i.e.aggregate layer), AND DETERMINE THEMINIMUM THICKNESS OF THE ASPHALTLAYER.
REASON: WE WANT TO AVOID OVER-BENDING THE ASPHALT LAYER – CAUSING ITTO FATIGUE -AND AVOID PUTTING THE
AGGREGATE LAYER INTO TENSION (WHY? Thestrength of the aggregate base layer comes
only when it is in compression.)
