Abstract

Several methods of designing of interlocking rigid pavement for roads and streets are available .All recognize the need to consider the subgrade soil, paving materials, environment and anticipated traffic. There are number of limitations associated with each, including inadequate characterization of the subgrade soil and paving materials, lack of pavement performance prediction capabilities , and inability to specify desired pavement failure and reliability level . This paper presents a solution to overcome these limitations. The AASTHO rigid pavement design methodology was used as the fundamental framework for developing the procedure. Several modifications allow for the characterization of interlocking concrete pavers as well as for various levels of engineering analysis depending on the availability of information .The proposed design methodology is demonstrated through various practical solutions.
