Pavement condition data collected from several sections of village roads were correlated with analytical structural response of pavements for developing a performance-based rutting criterion. Laboratory tests were carried out to obtain the design parameters, and a computer program was used for layered elastic analysis of pavement structure. Charts were prepared for design of village road pavements with a reliability level of 50 percent.
