Comparative Analysis of Flexible Pavement Design Methods Using Fuzzy PROMETHEE
Various methods for flexible pavement design were developed over the years ranging from empirical, mechanistic and the recently the mechanistic-empirical method. In this paper seven different pavement design methods were studied and each of the methods was used to determine the thickness of a flexible pavement. Fuzzy PROMETHEE decision technique was used to identify the most suitable method for designing the pavement. The criteria employed in the selection of the best method for the pavement design includes pavement thickness obtained from the design result, environmental consideration and pavement performance in the design procedure, recommended design life, minimum strength requirement for subbase and base material. Road Note 29 (RN29) was found to be the most preferred method with HD26/01 been the second. HD26/01 will be recommended for design of new road, since research proved total failure of the road pavements designed with RN29 after 20 years.
