Experience in the operation of road pavements shows their uneven damage: the edges of the roadway are subjected to greater damage, so there emerges a need to increase the durability and service life of road pavements across the entire width of the roadway. The analysis of domestic and foreign experience in the design of non-rigid road pavements shows that today the pressing issue is the design of durable road structures that can withstand loads taking into account their real impact. It is substantiated that the methods currently used are insufficient and need further improvement. The main tasks for developing methods for designing and constructing non-rigid road pavements with variable strength across the width of the roadway are formulated.
