Sensitivity of Input Variables for Rigid Pavement Rehabilitation Strategies in the MEPDG

Airfield and Highway Pavement 2013, 2013
The Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide (M-E PDG) can be used to design different flexible rehabilitation options; namely HMA over HMA (overlay), HMA over JPCP (composite), and HMA over JPCP fractured (rubblized). Each rehabilitation option has different input variables for new and existing layers. The type and magnitude of the input parameters

Comparison of Idaho Pavement Design Procedure with AASHTO 1993 and MEPDG Methods

Transportation and Development Institute Congress 2011, 2011
Several in service pavements located in different regions of Idaho that have been designed according to the ITD design method were redesigned using the AASHTO 1993 as well as the Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide (MEPDG) procedures. All designs were conducted at a 50% reliability level.

Study of Load Spectra of the Jaozhou Bay Expressway Based on MEPDG

Applied Mechanics and Materials, 2011
To study the traffic characteristic and axles load spectra of Jaozhou bay expressway, WIM data was collected, axle configuration and vehicles classification was determined. The characteristic of truck traffic monthly distribution and the truck hourly distribution was studied and axle load spectra for major tuck class groups were developed.

MEPDG Analysis on Relationship between Design Inputs and Performance of Asphalt Pavements

Applied Mechanics and Materials, 2014
The main objective of this research is to explore the quantitative relationship between the pavement design parameters (structural layer thickness, voids, aggregate gradation and temperatures) and pavement performance parameters (rutting, cracking and IRI).

Performance evaluation of pavements with cement stabilized layer using MEPDG program and LTPP data

2021
The spring season causes melting of wintry ice in pavement structures. Therefore, transportation agencies use axle load limits to protect the pavement from deterioration during springtime. The use of cement treated base (CTB) in the pavement structure can provide a prospect to overcome this problem.

An experimental design-based evaluation of sensitivities of MEPDG prediction: investigating main and interaction effects

International Journal of Pavement Engineering, 2015
The mechanistic–empirical pavement design guide (MEPDG) uses mechanistic–empirical models by analysing the impacts of traffic, climate, materials and pavement structure to predict performances of pavement. The MEPDG software uses a three-level hierarchical input to predict performance in terms of terminal International Roughness Index, permanent ...

Predicting Subgrade Resilient Modulus for Use in the MEPDG Using Common Soil Indices

2018
In roadway pavement design, one must consider the performance of the pavement structure and mixture design. The tendency for pavement to be more flexible in nature gives increased importance to the properties and condition of the underlying soil subgrade.
