Abstract	CDOT spends more than 30 percent of its annual construction and maintenance budget on pavements. Therefore pavements need to be properly designed. The purpose of the 2004 Pavement Design Manual is to provide the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) and consultant pavement designers with a uniform and detailed procedure for designing pavements on CDOT projects. The contents are arranged carefully to provide users with sufficient flexibility in selecting and focusing on the appropriate topics and chapters that will suit their specific pavement design needs. There are three major pavement design categories presented in this manual. These categories include new construction/reconstruction, rehabilitation with overlays, and intersection designs. Each category contains CDOTs current procedures utilized in the design of both flexible and rigid pavements. Also included are relevant and required input data provided in separate chapters on pavement design information, subgrade and base materials, pavement type selection and life cycle cost analysis, pavement justification report (PJR), and appendices. The manual is presented as a series of PDF files from a hyperlinked table of contents. 2 Appendices.
