A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
The objectives of this research study were: (1) to evaluate the mechanistic-empirical pavement design guide using the latest software Pavement ME(Trade Name) based on typical Louisiana traffic, materials and environmental information; (2) to assess the short and long-term performance of typical Louisiana pavement structures using Pavement ME’s nationally calibrated performance models; and (3) to develop implementation guidelines (including a recommended input strategy) for future assessment and adoption of Pavement ME(Trade Name) in Louisiana. Due to the lack of project-level data, this study was mainly based on comparing predicted performance from Pavement ME with measured performance from Louisiana pavement management system (LA-PMS) which is considered as network-level data.
