This presentation provides an overview of the effort conducted by the state of New Jersey towards implementation of the AASHTO Mechanistic–Empirical Pavement Design Guide (MEPDG). New Jersey is one of the lead states in implementing the MEPDG. Leading up to the implementation, Rutgers University conducted an extensive evaluation of the materials in the state of New Jersey and developed a materials database. The database included resilient modulus of subgrades and base–subbase materials. In addition, a dynamic modulus database of mixtures was also developed. Rutgers University assisted in conducting Design Guide Implementation Workshops. Beginning in fall 2008, Rowan University conducted Level 3 input verification of all distresses. Rowan University also calibrated and validated the fatigue cracking model based on 29 field pavement sections in New Jersey. Then a pavement catalog was developed in the form of a user-friendly Microsoft Access database. This catalog will help to identify candidate pavement structures that will meet failure criteria during the design life, based on MEDPG Level 3 inputs.
