Incorporating the Benefits of Geosynthetic into MEPDG
One of the most effective ways to increase the longevity of pavement structures is through the integration of geosynthetic reinforcement. Geosynthetics are synthetic materials such as geotextiles, geogrids, or geocomposites that are added to the ...

Adaboost Algorithm in Artificial Intelligence for Optimizing the IRI Prediction Accuracy of Asphalt Concrete Pavement [PDF]
The international roughness index (IRI) for roads is a crucial pavement design criterion in the Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide (MEPDG). However, studies have shown that the IRI transfer function in the MEPDG is simply a linear combination of

Influence of Unbound Materials Input Level on Pavement Performance using MEPDG [PDF]
For material characterization, the new Mechanistic Empirical Pavement Design Guide (MEPDG) has 3 input levels. Level 1 input values must be obtained through direct laboratory testing. Level 2 inputs are determined by the application of correlations with other material properties. Finally, Level 3 inputs are simply typical default values.

Local calibration of cracking models of MEPDG for Ontario's flexible pavement [PDF]
The AASHTO Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide (MEPDG) introduces a pavement design method which uses both the mechanistic analyses and empirical models to predict pavement distresses and performance, which needs to be calibrated to local conditions and engineering practices based on local pavement performance data.
