ABSTRACT The New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) Research Division wanted to develop and implement an interactive CD-ROM as a New Jersey-specific companion manual to the 1993 AASHTO Guide for Design of Pavement Structures. The research team developed a framework for the companion manual that met NJDOT’s requirements. The manual chapters, sections, and procedures were set-up similar to those in the 1993 AASHTO Guide for Design of Pavement Structures, to allow for easy referencing. New Jersey-specific values for parameters needed in the structural analysis and design of pavements were added and identified. This document outlines the requirements for a CD-ROM based Multimedia Companion to the 1993 AASHTO Guide for Design of Pavement Structures, sponsored by NJDOT and developed by Rutgers CAIT, AID Inc. and ATC Brunswick. BACKGROUND Many organizations are faced with an increasing need for training, despite substantial reduction in their training budgets. As a result, training professionals are looking for alternative approaches to meet their training needs. One alternative, which is gaining broad acceptance, is multi-media training, delivered in such mediums as CD-ROMs. This technology has been evolving over the last decade and is now at a stage that it can be used efficiently for real-time applications. The driving forces for this technology are at present, the multi-media technology for course content generation and presentation, and the Internet as the on-line course delivery system. NJDOT personnel and pavement design consultants were used to determine New Jerseyspecific values for parameters needed in the structural analysis and design of pavements. The primary parameters of interest were those related to traffic, material characterization, subgrade characteristics, seasonal variation of material properties, and rehabilitation considerations. Specifically, design parameters included: • Initial serviceability for different pavement types and classes • Terminal serviceability for different pavement types and classes • Reliability level different pavement types and classes • Overall standard deviation for different pavement types and classes • Seasonal adjustment factors • Layer coefficients for different material types • Back calculation subgrade correction factors • PCC effective thickness parameters The CD companion guide for the structural analysis of pavements utilized an “objectiveoriented” approach. This approach guides the designer based on his/her objective and the 1
