Perpetual Pavements: A Manual of Practice
Pavement engineers have been producing long-lasting asphalt pavements since the 1930s. Research has shown that well-constructed and adequately designed flexible pavements can perform well for extended periods of time (Mahoney, 2001). Many of these pavements in the were the products of full-depth or deep strength asphalt pavement designs, and both design philosophies have been shown to provide adequate strength over extended life cycles (Newcomb et al, 2010).
