More details Unfortunately Jonathan Core is unable to present on the 30th. Ignacio Artamendi has very kindly agreed to step in and present a paper, synopsis below. Jonathan's original paper will be rescheduled for a later date. Apologies for the inconvenience.

The current UK analytical pavement design method is based on foundation surface stiffness classes and relies on a single flexural criterion for the asphalt pavement layers. This criterion, however, does not consider the fatigue properties of mixtures currently used in the UK. The method also assumes a design traffic speed of 50 km/h. In this presentation, the effect of traffic speed and pavement thickness on pavement design will be discussed. Furthermore, fatigue performance of mixtures currently used in the UK are evaluated and incorporated into the design calculations.
