Guildelines for teh design of semirigid long life pavements

Pavement distress leads to frequent rehabilitation that increases the global cost of pavement sections. A clear understanding of distress mechanisms is the cornerstone for extending pavement service life. The overall objective of this study was to provide guidance for the design of semi-rigid long-life pavements. The potential distress mechanisms in semi-rigid pavements were revisited in order to synthesize the primary factors affecting performance.
