This guide is published by the Asphalt Pavement Association of Oregon (APAO) for the use and benefit of designers. It covers a number of applications, including streets and driveways, commercial and industrial facilities and specialty applications such as bikeways, cart paths, tennis courts and tracks. Recent additions include chapters on Life Cycle Cost, Intersection Design, and Porous Pavements for Commercial Facilities.
The manual contains the necessary information to allow the user to do the following:
1) Select and specify the correct asphalt concrete mix for a given application.
2) Select and specify the most appropriate asphalt binder for the application and climate.
3) Select and specify the most appropriate mix design method and criteria for the application.
4) Select the appropriate structural design inputs and perform a structural design.
5) Select the appropriate construction specification for the application.
6) Understand the importance of planning for pavement maintenance, the various maintenance techniques available, and the optimum timing for the maintenance treatments.
The procedures and guidelines provided in this manual are consistent wherever possible with those provided in the Oregon Standard Specifications for Construction. The Oregon Standard Specifications for Construction is the result of a joint effort by the American Public Works Association (APWA), the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) and the construction industry. Its purpose is to provide more uniform and consistent specifications and standards for all public works projects in Oregon. This design guide is consistent with the standard specification and covers the applications not included in the Oregon Standard Specifications for Construction.
Use of this manual will result in improved asphalt pavement quality and performance throughout the state of Oregon.
