Title: Developing the "Mechanistic–Empirical Pavement Design Guide"
Accession Number: 01329065
Record Type: Component
Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: The "Mechanistic–Empirical Pavement Design Guide" (MEPDG) incorporates the design methodology developed under National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Project 1-37A, Guide for the Design of New and Rehabilitated Pavement Structures, by ERES Consultants, Inc. (later part of Applied Research Associates, Inc.), with Arizona State University as a subcontractor. The pavement design methodology is based on engineering mechanics and validated with extensive road test performance data. The MEPDG design procedure relates the pavement thickness and the material properties to performance. The more detailed characterization of traffic generates a more accurate estimate of its effect on performance. The pavement can be engineered to address particular distress types. Version 2.0 of the MEPDG software is expected to be available in early 2011.
