The design of flexible pavements by the US Army Corps of Engineers is currently based on the California bearing ratio (CBR) curve. The CBR curve is empirical, and the current design approach is deterministic. A probabilistic approach, providing more reliable designs at potentially lower costs, can be developed from the current design procedure, except that the reliability of the CBR curve is uncertain. This study was undertaken to establish the reliability of the current CBR-based flexible pavement design model, using existing data from accelerated traffic tests. The reliability of the design model was found to be 50 percent, excluding the effects of conservative estimates of the design parameters. Keywords: CBR equation; Flexible pavement; and Pavement design.

The proliferation of technological capability, miniaturization, and demand for aerial intelligence is pushing unmanned aerial systems (UAS) into the realm of a multi-billion dollar industry. This book surveys the UAS landscape from history to future applications. It discusses commercial applications, integration into the national airspace system (NAS), System function, operational procedures, safety concerns, and a host of other relevant topics. The book is dynamic and well-illustrated with separate sections for terminology and web- based resources for further information.
