Structural behaviour of flexible pavements in Kenya
Abstract
Most pavement design methods in developing countries
in general and Kenyain particular have their origin
fran those practices generally developed and suited to
t.errperate climate (mainly Europe). Direct use of
these design methods has been suspect.ed to be the main
source of premature failure of road pavements in the
recent past in Kenya.
As road transportation plays a vet:y important role
in the economic deveIopnent; of Kenya it was considered
desirable to initiate a pavement research programme
to establish whether the above suspicion is warranted
and further develop a basis uponwhich sound pavement
design procedure can be developed.
