Question
hi Jeanette, good day.
Well i have this problem in my transportation engineering subject that i'm having a hard time searching the internet for.
The instruction was to discuss in detail at least three procedures for the design of flexible pavement. I know of a few of them like, AASHTO Procedure or shell procedure but unfortunately i cant find a site that discuss these procedures in detail. so i was hoping that maybe you could help me or atleast give me a few sites i could use for my research.
Thank you and hoping to hear from you soon.
