This paper outlines the application of the AASHO Road Test results and its impact on pavement design in the United States. The efforts under way to develop mechanistic–empirical (M-E) design procedures to replace the AASHO Road Test based procedure are also explained. In addition, the difficulties encountered in the development and implementation of M-E procedures and recommended future actions to insure the success of M-E design are provided.
