Pavement Structural Design Catalogues
The pavement structural catalogues presented in these guidelines for design traffic levels up to 50 MSA are intended for initial cost estimation and for guidance only. For all roads with more than 2 MSA design traffic, the design shall be carried out using site specific inputs to satisfy the mechanistic- empirical performance models using IITPAVE software.
The designed pavement thickness and composition was calculated by referring pavement design catalogue of IRC 37-2018.

Where sufficient information on axle loads are not available Table 2 may be used
Design traffic for stage-1 shall be taken as 1.67 times the design traffic estimated
Note: For roads with Design traffic greater than 50 msa the actual optimal requirement of layer thickness shall be evolved based on detailed analysis using IITPAVE software.
