Incorporation of Reliability into the Minnesota Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Method
This report documents the research that incorporated reliability analysis into the existing mechanistic-empirical (M-E) flexible pavement design method for Minnesota. In fact, this report is an extension of a previous report entitled, 'Mechanistic-Empirical Flexible Pavement Thickness Design, The Minnesota Method'. M-E methods are gaining more acceptance and greater use both nationally and inernationally since they are more robust than traditional empirically-based design methods. For example, M-E methods can adapt to new design conditions (e.g., heavier loads, new pavement materials) by relying primarily upon mechanistic pavement modeling. Empirically-based procedures, however, are limited to the original test conditions encountered during procedure development.
