Sensitivity Evaluation of MEPDG Performance Prediction. Research Results Digest 372
This Guide and related software provide a methodology for the analysis and performance prediction of flexible and rigid pavements based on mechanistic-empirical principles. For given pavement structure, material properties, environmental conditions, and traffic loading characteristics, the structural responses such as stresses, strains, and deflections are mechanistically calculated using multilayer elastic theory or finite element methods. Thermal and moisture distributions are also mechanistically determined using an Enhanced Integrated Climate Model. These responses are then used as inputs to empirical models for predicting pavement performance in terms of distresses such as cracking, rutting, faulting, and smoothness. These empirical models have been calibrated using data from the Long-Term Pavement Performance (LTPP) database for in-service pavements that are representative of the conditions encountered in the United States.
