The purpose of this investigation was to study the design of flexible pavements in Minnesota with emphasis on how the findings and concepts of the AASHO Road Test can be applied to the present Minnesota Flexible Pavement Design Procedure. At the AASHO Road Test pavements of various thicknesses were built on one subgrade soil with one material for subbase, one material for base, and one material for the asphaltic concrete surfacing on the main factorial experiment. The base type was varied in a special study. Traffic consisted of about one million applications of ten levels of load. Each of the two lanes on the five test loops had constant weight and axle configuration trucks. Adequate thicknesses have been established, based on performance which is related to the variation in Present Serviceability of a pavement section with traffic. (Author)
