A IF la Passenger Cars In most areas of concentrated population around theworld, parking space for motor vehicles is at a premium. In 1966, over 94 millionvehicles were registered in the United With similar growth being .1 States, with no sign of any let-up in registration growth. .4* 4,1 tr. experienced throughout the world, it is likely that theneed for more parking space will continue indefinitely. And so, parking area construction booms. Private andmunicipal car-parks now provide an estimated 7 millionoff-street spaces in American cities of 10,000 population or more. In the burgeoning suburban developments asphalt-paved expanses areaccommodating the automobiles of thousands of shoppers and business people,and of commuters who transfer to public transportation into the cities.And, in the downtown areas, the number of parking spaces is constantly increasing as old buildings arerazed to make room for automobiles. Altbough multistory parking garages are becomingpopular because they conserve valuable space, openlots still constitute nearly two-thirds of all off-street parking. Trucks In addition to the parking requirements of light vehicles, ever increasing useof trucks has amplified the need for heavy-duty parking facilities.Modern Full-Depth asphalt pavement is today's practical answer tothe rugged demands of heavy truck traffic. 2 Residential Each year thousands of smooth, attractive asphalt-paved driveways are constructed in residential areas throughout the world. Asphalt driveways, in fact, are widely preferred with the construction of new homes. They are easy and economical to build, and in almost every area there are contractors and materials available to build them. They lend charm and utility to any homesite at reasonable cost. Commercial Asphalt driveways also serve our existing and developing industries. Access and in-plant asphalt driveways have a record of excellent service and are readily adaptable to modifications made necessary by expansion of commercial facilities. NOTE: This publication pertains t open-air parking lots and driveways built n ground, not to paving n decks of structures. 3 SOME REASON MN ASINIMIT PINEMERTS ARE SUPERIOR FOR PARKING NTS AND DRIVELUES: Asphalt pavement versatility permits construction that will meet the needs and condi- tions of any area. Asphalt pavements are economical and quickly constructed. They are durableperformance is excellent and maintenance is low. Asphalt pavements permit stage construction. They can be strengthened in depth and widened as need arises. Each successive pavement layer, or stage, becomes an integral part of the entire pavement structure and substantially increases its load-carrying capacity. Snow melts faster on asphalt pavements, and snow- and ice-removal chemicals don't harm them. Asphalt pavements can be trenched and patched easily when utility lines under the pavement need repair. There is greater visibility of striping and other traffic markingson asphalt pavements. Asphalt paving is smooth and continuous; it hasno annoying joints. DESIGII BASIS This booklet embodies the latest information for designing Full-Depth asphalt pavements for parking lots and driveways. It is based on The Asphalt Institute's Thickness Design manual, Manual Series No. 1 (MS-1), Seventh Edition, which covers all aspects of asphalt pavement thickness design in detail, utilizing the latest, computer-derived information from pavement tests here and abroad. The pavement cross-sections given in this booklet are for typical conditions. For excep- tional conditions, you are urged to consult the Thickness Design manual (MS-1) where you will find design socedures covering any situation. Manual MS-1 and assistance in pavement design are available at the nearest Asphalt Institute office (see list, back cover). 4 NOTES TO THE OWNER (ENGINEER): 1.This specification applies to paving jobs of less than 5,000 square yards. For projects of larger area, specifications similar to those in Srecificationsand Construction Methods for Asphalt Concrete and Other Plant Mix Tyres, SS-1, The Asphalt Institute,should be used. 2. This specification is applicable for such small paving jobs as Parking Areas (5,000 square yards or less) Driveways. 3. Full-Depth uphak pavements are recommended for greatest strengthand durability. If granular bases are used, specification should meet the requirement of local, state, county, city or other agency. 4.Article 2.
