Abstract:The Mechanistic Empirical Pavement Design Guide (MEPDG) method, currently known as Pavement ME, recommends using locally calibrated material characterization models developed from laboratory testing of local materials under specific environmental and traffic loading conditions. The Pavement ME design method offers a more realistic design procedure and reduces the uncertainty that arise from empirical design procedures. This thesis developed a locally calibrated indirect tensile (IDT) strength material model fo… Show more
