Flexible pavements shall be designed in accordance with the principles and procedures illustrated in the AASHTO Guide for Design of Pavement Structures.The "Guide" is presented in four parts: Part I: Pavement Design and Management Principles Part II: Pavement Design Procedures for New Construction or Reconstruction Part III: Pavement Design Procedures for Rehabilitation of Existing Pavements and Part IV: Mechanistic-Empirical Design Procedures. Volume 2 of the 1986 "Guide" is still applicable to most sections of Volume 1 of the 1993 "Guide". The Guide has been developed to provide recommendations. There are other minor changes and some of an editorial nature throughout the new Volume 1. This Guide for the Design of Pavement Structures provides a comprehensive set of procedures which can be used for the design and rehabilitation of pavements both rigid (portland cement concrete surface) and flexible (asphalt concrete surface) and aggregate surfaced for low-volume roads. The major changes included in the 1993 "Guide" are changes to the overlay design procedure and the accompanying appendices L, M, and N. This 1993 edition of the "Guide for Design of Pavement Structures" replaces the 1986 "Guide" Volume 1 and serves the same purpose. AASHTO GUIDE FOR DESIGN OF PAVEMENT STRUCTURES 1993
