Characterizing Seasonal Variations in Pavement Material Properties: For Use in a Mechanistic-Empirical Design Procedure
Recent advances in flexible pavement design have prompted agencies to move toward the development and use of mechanistic-empirical (M-E) design procedures. The report analyzed seasonal trends in flexible pavement layer moduli to calibrate a M-E design procedure specific to Minnesota. Seasonal trends in pavement layer moduli were quantified using data from the Minnesota Road Research (Mn/ROAD) and Long Term Pavement Performance Seasonal Monitoring Program (LTPP SMP) sites located in Minnesota. The relationships investigated were between climate factors, subsurface environmental conditions, and pavement material mechanical properties. The results show that pavement layer stiffness is highly respondent to changes in the average daily temperature and available moisture. Five seasons were used to characterize the seasonal variations in pavement layer moduli for design purposes.
