Many current methods of pavement evaluation and rehabilitation design rely almost exclusively on empirical relationships. Since empirical rules are difficult to generalise across a wide range of pavement types, loading and local environmental conditions, a primary goal for the Dynatest methodology has been to reduce the reliance on empirical approaches. Instead, pavements can be analysed like most other civil engineering structures, ie, through the use of calculated and allowable stresses and strains at critical points within the pavement structure, under load. The relationships between allowable stresses and strains, and pavement distress, remains essentially empirical. The calculation of existing stresses and strains within the pavement structure can be accomplished through an analytical, or mechanistic approach.

. The new version has retained the well known fast and user friendly back-calculation routines and has a number of improvements on graphing and reporting, with all data now being stored in a Microsoft Access database format. Enhancements have also been made to many of the functions including data editing, batch mode, overlay design and aircraft wander.
