This manual provides guidelines for the design of road pavements to meet the needs of high-volume traffic in India. It describes mechanistic design, empirical support procedures, and chart-based solutions to accommodate the challenges of traffic overload, high pavement temperatures, high rainfall, and soft soils to the performance of road assets.
Published by the Directorate General of Highways under the Ministry of Public Works of Indonesia, this manual outlines a comprehensive approach to road pavement design. It addresses four specific challenges facing road assets in the country: excessive loading, high pavement temperatures, high rainfall, and soft soil conditions. The document aims to ensure sustainable economic growth by facilitating the uninterrupted movement of goods and people through improved infrastructure planning.
The manual addresses excessive loading, high pavement temperatures, high rainfall, and soft soil.
The design life for new road pavements is 20 years.
The minimum traffic growth factor for design is 1.0.
