FOREWORD
Foreword - Page iii
The Pavement Design Manual is published by Alberta Transportation and Utilities (AT&U) for use in the Province of Alberta to promote uniformity of pavement design and to achieve long lasting quality pavements in a cost-effective manner, that will contribute to traffic safety and efficient roads for the well-being of the travelling public.
In general, the Manual reflects past AT&U design practices that have resulted in decades of costeffective pavement performance conducive to Alberta environmental, traffic and materials conditions. It reflects the most appropriate design methodologies and strategies, adapted for Alberta conditions and experience, that are available at the present time. Changes in technology related to design and construction practices will necessitate revisions to the Manual. It provides the engineering consultant industry a guideline for pavement design for new roadway construction, final pavements and pavement rehabilitation. The pavement design methodologies apply to the surfacing of rural highways only. Use of these design practices will provide cost-effective pavement designs to suit the specific requirements of each project.
This Manual is not a textbook or a substitute for engineering knowledge, experience or judgement. It is a guiding Manual that must be used in conjunction with AAASHTO Guide for Design of Pavement Structures, 1993".
The information presented in this Manual was carefully researched, compiled and presented. However, no warranty, expressed or implied, is made on the accuracy of the contents or their extraction from referenced publications. Alberta Transportation and Utilities, AGRA Earth & Environmental and their sub-consultants assume no responsibility for errors or omissions or possible misinterpretation that may result from use and interpretation of the material herein contained.
