Alize2

Alize2 by IFSTTAR is a professional software application for mechanistic-empirical design and verification of road pavements aligned with the French pavement design method. It performs rapid multilayer elastic analysis of flexible and semi-rigid structures, computing stresses, strains, and deflections under traffic and environmental loading. Engineers use Alize2 to size new pavements, evaluate rehabilitation strategies, and run sensitivity studies on materials and layer thicknesses.

Key capabilities:

• Layered elastic modeling of asphalt, hydraulically bound, granular, and subgrade layers
• Fatigue and rutting checks using French criteria, with service life estimation under mixed traffic
• Traffic, load spectrum, and temperature/climate scenario modeling
• Built-in material libraries with options for user-defined properties and fatigue laws
• Iterative design assistance, thickness optimization, and what-if analysis
• Clear graphical outputs, result summaries, and report generation for documentation

Typical users include highway agencies, engineering consultants, research institutions, and contractors seeking reliable, standards-based pavement design and analysis.
