Chapter 5: Flexible Pavement Design
Section 1: Overview
This chapter documents the policy for designing
flexible pavements. The following topics are discussed:
- types of flexible pavements,
- design parameters used in FPS 21 (analytical flexible pavement design procedure),
- FPS 21 modulus inputs and backcalculation methodology,
- pavement detours and widening, and
- design of perpetual pavements.
