Since the inception of pavement design processes, engineers have been searching for ways to increase the life of their structures. Not only would a stronger and longer-lasting pavement be more economical for its owner, but it would also reduce the ever growing dilemma of congestion on highways due to rehabilitation services being performed on the structure. With reduced rehabilitation comes a reduced delay on the structure’s users. From these needs has arisen the idea of creating a perpetual pavement. The Asphalt Pavement Alliance (APA, 2002) defined a perpetual pavement as “an asphalt pavement designed and built to last longer than 50 years without requiring major structural rehabilitation or reconstruction, and needing only periodic surface renewal in response to distresses confined to the top of the pavement.”
