These two designed pavements were evaluated in terms of supply energy, surface safety movement, and structural performance.
For designing pavement structures effectively and efficiently designers are moving from the old empirical design approach to the new Mechanistic Empirical (M-E) pavement design procedure.
These two facts along with the generally recommended rehabilitation practice implicitly acknowledge that the designed flexible pavement structures are inadequate to perform satisfactorily over the entire design period.
Designing pavement foundation for rigid airfield pavements and understanding the contribution of pavement foundation elements to overall pavement performance and pavement failure have been challenges for the rigid airfield pavement design community.
The degrees of deflection obtained were correlated to variations in pavement performance, mix design, pavement design, and construction details at each site.
Note that MR is the principal material input parameter for designing asphalt pavement using the recent mechanistic-empirical pavement design software.
Some former studies have provided justifications for designing flexible pavement structures with higher strength than what is typically recommended by some current design methods [1, 2].
Such type of analysis proves beneficial for designing a pavement, keeping equilibrium between fatigue and rutting lives.
It is reasonable to design hydronic pavement heating systems under consideration of specific climate conditions and snow melting target.
