1. CBR – Standard method of flexible pavement design (load, subgrade strength, total pavement thickness
2. WASHO Road Test (1954) suggested that thicker surface produced longer life
3. There was no accepted definition of pavement failure or performance

1. PCA method based on modified Westergaard Theory was the standard for Rigid Pavement Design.
2. Subgrade and subbase pumping under heavy loads was a major problem
3. Corner cracking was a major failure mode
4. Using dowels for load transfer with dowels was not yet an accepted practice

AASHO Road Test Quantified the effect of pavement surface thickness carrying more load repetitions to failure.
• Greater Pavement Thickness Better Performance

Subgrade and subbase pumping under heavy loads was a major problem](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062602/5ecf85d9ebbc2c47d83544d4/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Load EquivalencyThe AASHO Road Test provided quantitative information about the relative damaging effect of heavy loads.

PSI – Performance ConceptPrior to the AASHO Road Test there was NO definition of pavement failure. Accumulated traffic to a fixed level of PSI (Roughness) was defined as Performance
(Basis of PMS)
![Page 17: Four Decades of Pavement Management: What We’ve Learned ... Theory was the standard for Rigid Pavement Design. 2. Subgrade and subbase pumping under heavy loads was a major problem](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062602/5ecf85d9ebbc2c47d83544d4/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
17
Layer EquivalenciesFour types of base; gravel, cement stabilized, asphalt stabilized, and crushed stone were compared under load to define performance due to the quality of the base layer.
This is also a basis for Mechanistic Design
![Page 18: Four Decades of Pavement Management: What We’ve Learned ... Theory was the standard for Rigid Pavement Design. 2. Subgrade and subbase pumping under heavy loads was a major problem](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062602/5ecf85d9ebbc2c47d83544d4/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

Value of Subbase to Reduce Pumping
PCC sections with gravel subbase performed much better than those laid directly on the clay. No chance to prove the value of stabilized subbases or variation in subbase quality.
However, subbases did pump under very heavy loads. This debunked the PCA claim that adding a gravel subbase prevents pumping permanently.
