Calibration and Validation of the Enhanced Integrated Climatic Model for Pavement Design

C. E. Zapata / W. N. Houston

This report summarizes the results of research to evaluate, calibrate, and validate the Enhanced Integrated Climatic Model (EICM) incorporated in the original Version 0.7 (July 2004 release) of the Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide (MEPDG) software with measured material data from the Long-Term Pavement Performance Seasonal Monitoring Program (LTPP SMP) pavement sections. The report further describes subsequent changes made to the EICM to improve its prediction of moisture equilibrium for granular bases. The report will be of particular interest to pavement design engineers in state highway agencies and industry.
