Design of a road pavement

The structural thickness design of a flexible pavement is based on a calculating strains and stresses at critical points in the pavement structure. Pavers® allows a pavement engineer to define or use calibrated performance models and failure criteria for all pavement layers and subgrade in his pavement design projects. By adjusting pavement layer thicknesses until the allowable number of passes matches the forecasted number, a structural pavement design is made.
