R27-233 Mechanistic - Empirical Design Procedures for Flexible Pavements 5/15/2024 Design procedures and policies for flexible (asphalt) pavements are continually evolving. This project reviewed the Illinois Department of Transportation’s current design method and policy documents. Researchers discovered via lab testing of contemporary hot-mix asphalt mixtures that changes to design inputs may be needed to ensure that the design processes reflect the latest technology. They recommended further research to characterize IDOT mixtures and provide guidance on policy updates. Improved pavement designs are expected to result in cost savings and improved long-term pavement performance.
