在苏联已采用了一种柔性路面设计新方法。设计方法包括了产生一个在荷载作用下能稳定的耐用结构所要求的诸因素所组成的基本体系和用以提供适当的排水和过湿地区和土壤季节冰冻区的路面结构的抗冻能力的分体系。沥青混凝土和其它多层路面是根据抗弯拉指标设计的,以防产生疲劳开裂。分散材料层和土壤的设计均按“抗剪”指标进行, In the Soviet Union has adopted a new method of flexible pavement design. The design methodology includes a baseline system consisting of the factors required to produce a durable structure capable of being stabilized under load and the frost resistance capability of the pavement structure to provide adequate drainage and over-wet areas and frozen seasons in the soil system. Asphalt concrete and other multi-layer pavements are designed based on flexural resistance indicators to prevent fatigue cracking. Dispersed material layers and soil design are based on “shear” indicators,
