Pavement Design Software

[NorthernExposure]

I am looking for software dealing with pavement design (rigid and flexible). Currently we use consultants for x-sections. We want to be able to verify this information and or use it for design on some projects. Any suggestions would be appreciated, I would like to here people's experience along with looking through the various websites and testing of the software.

NE,

The relevant design equations and jurisdiction-specific constants are out there. You will need to do a little spreadsheet work, but it's doable.

Start here:

Then check your state's design guidance, usually available on the DOT website.
