| mechanistic empirical pavement design guide: Guide for the Local Calibration of the Mechanistic-empirical Pavement Design Guide , 2010 This guide provides guidance to calibrate the Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide (MEPDG) software to local conditions, policies, and materials. It provides the highway community with a state-of-the-practice tool for the design of new and rehabilitated pavement structures, based on mechanistic-empirical (M-E) principles. The design procedure calculates pavement responses (stresses, strains, and deflections) and uses those responses to compute incremental damage over time. The procedure empirically relates the cumulative damage to observed pavement distresses. |

Masad, 2017-02-22 A comprehensive, state-of-the-art guide to pavement design and materials With innovations ranging from the advent of SuperpaveTM, the data generated by the Long Term Pavement Performance (LTPP) project, to the recent release of the Mechanistic-Empirical pavement design guide developed under NCHRP Study 1-37A, the field of pavement engineering is experiencing significant development. Pavement Design and Materials is a practical reference for both students and practicing engineers that explores all the aspects of pavement engineering, including materials, analysis, design, evaluation, and economic analysis.

| mechanistic empirical pavement design guide: Concrete Pavement Design, Construction, and Performance Norbert Delatte, 2007-09-12 Addressing the interactions between the different design and construction variables and techniques this book illustrates best practices for constructing economical, long life concrete pavements. The book proceeds in much the same way as a pavement construction project. First, different alternatives for concrete pavement solutions are outlined. The desired performance and behaviour parameters are identified. Next, appropriate materials are outlined and the most suitable concrete proportions determined. The design can be completed, and then the necessary construction steps for translating the design into a durable facility are carried out. Although the focus reflects highways as the most common application, special features of airport, industrial, and light duty pavements are also addressed. Use is made of modeling and performance tools such as HIPERPAV and LTPP to illustrate behavior and performance, along with some case studies. As concrete pavements are more complex than they seem, and the costs of mistakes or of over-design can be high, this is a valuable book for engineers in both the public and private sectors. |

| mechanistic empirical pavement design guide: Modeling and Design of Flexible Pavements and Materials Dallas N. Little, David H. Allen, Amit Bhasin, 2017-09-25 This textbook lays out the state of the art for modeling of asphalt concrete as the major structural component of flexible pavements. The text adopts a pedagogy in which a scientific approach, based on materials science and continuum mechanics, predicts the performance of any configuration of flexible roadways subjected to cyclic loadings. The authors incorporate state-of the-art computational mechanics to predict the evolution of material properties, stresses and strains, and roadway deterioration. Designed specifically for both students and practitioners, the book presents fundamentally complex concepts in a clear and concise way that aids the roadway design community to assimilate the tools for designing sustainable roadways using both traditional and innovative technologies. |

| mechanistic empirical pavement design guide: Traffic Load Spectra for Implementing and Using the Mechanistic-empirical Pavement Design Guide in Georgia Olga Selezneva, Harold Von Quintus, 2014 The GDOT is preparing for implementation of the Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide (MEPDG). As part of this preparation, a statewide traffic load spectra program is being developed for gathering truck axle loading data. This final report presents the results of a comprehensive research effort that culminated in recommendations for a statewide Traffic Load Spectra Program for collecting and processing truck axle loading data to support MEPDG implementation in Georgia. The recommendations include an optimal axle loading data collection plan that balances pavement design data needs, cost and number of WIM sites, and types of equipment used in obtaining the data. The report also shows how the available GDOT traffic data and other applicable data resources were used to develop traffic loading inputs and defaults to support local calibration of MEPDG models in Georgia. The available axle loading data were analyzed and the interim traffic loading defaults were developed for different groups of roads designed and maintained by GDOT, along with the recommendations for future updates of the defaults. In addition, user guidelines, decision trees, and software tools were developed to facilitate using the traffic loading defaults in MEPDG applications |
