Guide for Pavement-Type Selection. National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Report 703

摘要

This report presents a recommended Guide for Pavement-Type Selection. The guide includes practical, logical, and transparent processes for conducting systematic evaluations of pavement alternatives and for making decisions on pavement-type selection. These processes can be used for both agency-based and contractor-based type selections and may be applied to different pavement types and structures. These processes are supplemented by examples to illustrate the application of the recommended guide for the commonly encountered scenarios of alternative bidding and design-build of operations and maintenance projects. The material contained in the report will be of immediate interest to state pavement engineers, design consultants, paving contractors, and others involved in project design and pavement-type selection.
