An evaluation of JPCP faulting and transverse cracking models of the mechanistic-empirical pavement design guide
This research evaluates the reasonableness of the Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide (MEPDG) version 1.0 to predict the joint faulting and transverse cracking of jointed plain concrete pavements (JPCPs). This is accomplished by carrying out a full factorial sensitivity analysis, considering material properties, pavement design features, climates and traffic. This study considers the interaction and correlation between these inputs and was designed to reflect the real conditions that occur in practice. Based on over 3000 runs, the sensitive parameters in the joint faulting model and the transverse cracking model were identified. In general, the analysis indicates JPCP models perform well. However, some counterintuitive results were also found.
