The conventional procedure for the thickness design of flexible pavements for military roads and streets is based on the California Bearing Ratio (CBR) equation. In recent years, the elastic layered method has been used in the Corps of Engineers for the design of pavements for military roads, streets, walks, and open storage areas. This report contains the theoretical development that is the basis of the design criteria for flexible pavement for military roads and streets. The flexible pavement design procedure for roads and streets based on the CBR equation is presented. The design index ranges from 1 to 10 with greater design index corresponding to heavier traffic, depending upon the frequencies and compositions of the design traffic.
