- W4293764883 abstract "In contemporary pavement engineering parlance, a “transfer function” is a statistical-empirical formula that is used to determine the number of cycles or repetitions of a specified loading condition to which a pavement system may be subjected before it develops a particular distress of a specified extent. The significance of the transfer function in modern pavement engineering is unmatched by any other aspect of the design process. At the same time, it is generally recognized that the transfer function is the weakest component in a pavement design, reflecting the shortcomings of the current state-of-the-art and being fraught with statistical uncertainty. This paper will demonstrate that this has not always been so. In earlier times, transfer functions served the purpose of providing a safety factor, an indispensable tool for engineering design. How from such relatively humble beginnings, grounded in time-honored engineering practices, the transfer function has evolved to its current widely questioned but hardly ever challenged crucial role in pavement design is a topic that is explored in depth in this paper, through the critical review of the pertinent published literature. It is concluded that the transfer function has always been a tool for implementing policy, rather than a data driven algorithm. Consequently, it is suggested that reliance on transfer function use in pavement design must be supplemented by a careful assessment of the rational foundation of pavement design policies." @default.
