The '''Shell pavement design method''' is used in many [[countries]] for the design of new [[asphalt]] [[road]]s.<ref>[http://www.mrr.dot.state.mn.us/research/apt/data/cs10-05.pdf The Stiffness Relation in the Rutting Prediction Module of the Shell Pavement Design Method] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110718201631/http://www.mrr.dot.state.mn.us/research/apt/data/cs10-05.pdf |date=2011-07-18 }}</ref>
 
In [[structural road design]], the main considerations consist of [[soil]] [[parameter]]s, parameters (thickness and stiffness) for the other road [[Foundation (engineering)|foundation]] materials, and the expected number of times a standard load will pass over. The output of the calculation is the thickness of the asphalt layer.<ref>Shell Pavement Design Manual—Asphalt Pavements and Overlays for. Road Traffic.
