A brief description of a method for designing premium composite pavements is given. A premium pavement is defined as a pavement structure that will perform free from structural maintenance for 20 years and will require only minimum maintenance for an additional 10-20 years. To satisfy this requirement, the procedure incorporates the best current design and construction practices for composite pavement. The method described provides highway engineers with a systematic technique for selecting a premium pavement design. The procedure is more complex than some empirically based systems but is relatively easy to use. The complete manual includes a number of charts, figures, and worksheets and a procedure for their use. On the basis of design data, a user can select a precalculated pavement cross section from a catalog of designs. An overview of the design system and a brief explanation of the procedure and of the factors considered in the development of the procedure are given. An explanation of the design inputs required for use of the procedure is also included. A discussion of the limiting criteria used in development of the design procedure for premium pavement is followed by special considerations required for the design of reinforcement in the concrete layers of composite pavements and discussion of the design methodology.
