Monograph

This issue contains 18 papers concerned with the design of flexible and rigid pavements. Specific topics discussed with regard to rigid pavements include the following: warping and drying shrinkage models; Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide (MEPDG) procedure for two-lift composite concrete pavements; temperature gradients for ultrathin bonded concrete overlays on asphalt pavements; mechanistic-empirical continuously reinforced concrete pavement (CRCP) design approach with modified punchout model; concrete slab curling effect on joint load transfer responses; concrete pavement joint diagnostics using ultrasonic tomography; CRCP terminal anchorages to protect bridge structures; and joint load transfer for jointed precast concrete pavements. Topics discussed with regard to flexible pavements include: mechanistic-empirical design procedure for fully permeable pavement; induction healing of porous asphalt; structural coefficient of open-graded friction course; implications of climate change for flexible pavement design and performance; reliability-based mechanistic-empirical pavement design with statistical methods; calibrating the MEPDG for North Carolina; design thicknesses for flexible airfield pavement; loading frequency for linear elastic analysis of asphalt pavements; load and resistance factors and design parameter offsets for the MEPDG; and streamlining the use of the MEPDG.
