Download or read book Guide for the Local Calibration of the Mechanistic-empirical Pavement Design Guide written by and published by AASHTO. This book was released on 2010 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This guide provides guidance to calibrate the Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide (MEPDG) software to local conditions, policies, and materials. It provides the highway community with a state-of-the-practice tool for the design of new and rehabilitated pavement structures, based on mechanistic-empirical (M-E) principles. The design procedure calculates pavement responses (stresses, strains, and deflections) and uses those responses to compute incremental damage over time. The procedure empirically relates the cumulative damage to observed pavement distresses.

This book was released on 2011 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide (MEPDG) developed under the National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) 1-37A project is based on mechanistic-empirical analysis of the pavement structure to predict the performance of the pavement under different sets of conditions (traffic, structure and environment). MEPDG takes into account the advanced modeling concepts and pavement performance models in performing the analysis and design of pavement. The mechanistic part of the design concept relies on the application of engineering mechanics to calculate stresses, strains and deformations in the pavement structure induced by the vehicle loads. The empirical part of the concept is based on laboratory developed performance models that are calibrated with the observed distresses in the in-service pavements with known structural properties, traffic loadings, and performances. These models in the MEPDG were calibrated using a national database of pavement performance data (Long Term Pavement Performance, LTPP) and will provide design solution for pavements with a national average performance. In order to improve the performance prediction of the models and the efficiency of the design for a given state, it is necessary to calibrate it to local conditions by taking into consideration locally available materials, traffic information and the environmental conditions. The objective of this study was to calibrate the MEPDG flexible pavement performance models to local conditions of Northeastern region of United States. To achieve this, seventeen pavement sections were selected for the calibration process and the relevant data (structural, traffic, climatic and pavement performance) was obtained from the LTPP database. MEPDG software (Version 1.1) simulation runs were made using the nationally calibrated coefficients and the MEPDG predicted distresses were compared with the LTPP measured distresses (rutting, alligator and longitudinal cracking, thermal cracking and IRI). The predicted distresses showed fair agreement with the measured distresses but still significant differences were found. The difference between the measured and the predicted distresses were minimized through recalibration of the MEPDG distress models. For the permanent deformation models of each layer, a simple linear regression with no intercept was performed and a new set of model coefficients (ßr1, ßGB, and ßSG) for asphalt concrete, granular base and subgrade layer models were calculated. The calibration of alligator (bottom-up fatigue cracking) and longitudinal (topdown fatigue cracking) was done by deriving the appropriate model coefficients (C1, C2, and C4) since the fatigue damage is given in MEDPG software output. Thermal cracking model was not calibrated since the measured transverse cracking data in the LTPP database did not increase with time, as expected to increase with time. The calibration of IRI model was done by computing the model coefficients (C1, C2, C3, and C4) based on other distresses (rutting, total fatigue cracking, and transverse cracking) by performing a simple linear regression.

This book was released on 2018 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide (MEPDG) represents the state-of-art procedure for pavement design. However, after more than a decade since its publication, the number of agencies that have reported entirely adopting this design system is small. Among the many causes of this phenomenon, the poor predictive accuracy of the performance prediction models is considered the most crucial one. To improve the accuracy of performance predicted by the MEPDG, a preliminary calibration was first conducted for these models with data from the pavement management system (PMS) of Tennessee, and then employed various machine learning algorithms for further improvements. Also, an approach for estimating the modulus of existing asphalt pavement was proposed to enhance the reliability of rehabilitation analysis with the MEPDG. The transfer functions for alligator cracking and longitudinal cracking were validated and calibrated with data collected from the PMS of the state of Tennessee. The results of calibration efforts showed that after calibration, both the bias and variance of the prediction were significantly reduced. It was noted that although local calibration helped improve the accuracy of the transfer functions, the extent of improvement is limited. An observation of the performance models revealed that they were either inadequately formulated or too inflexible to capture sufficient information from the inputs. To further improve the predictive performance of the transfer functions in the MEPDG, several machine learning algorithms were employed including the gradient boosted model (GBM) for fatigue cracking, deep neural networks for rutting, and random forest for IRI. Using the determination of coefficient (R2) and root mean squared error (RMSE) as the measure of model performance, compared with the global transfer functions, the models developed achieved significantly better predictive performance. The results from the regularized regression model indicated that, compared with the model using deflection basins parameters (DBPs), the one without DBPs could still generate modulus prediction of reasonable accuracy. Rehabilitation analyses in the MEPDG with the estimated modulus also contributed to the improved accuracy in pavement performance prediction.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Guide for Mechanistic-Empirical Design of New and Rehabilitated Pavement Structures (MEPDG) is an improved methodology for pavement design and the evaluation of paving materials. The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) is expecting to transition to using the MEPDG methodology in the near future. The purpose of this research was to support this implementation effort. A catalog of mixture properties from 11 asphalt mixtures (3 surface mixtures, 4 intermediate mixtures, and 4 base mixtures) was compiled along with the associated asphalt binder properties to provide input values. The predicted fatigue and rutting distresses were used to evaluate the sensitivity of the MEPDG software to differences in the mixture properties and to assess the future needs for implementation of the MEPDG. Two pavement sections were modeled: one on a primary roadway and one on an interstate roadway. The MEPDG was used with the default calibration factors. Pavement distress data were compiled for the interstate and primary route corresponding to the modeled sections and were compared to the MEPDG-predicted distresses. Predicted distress quantities for fatigue cracking and rutting were compared to the calculated distress model predictive errors to determine if there were significant differences between material property input levels. There were differences between all rutting and fatigue predictions using Level 1, 2, and 3 asphalt material inputs, although not statistically significant. Various combinations of Level 3 inputs showed expected trends in rutting predictions when increased binder grades were used, but the differences were not statistically significant when the calibration model error was considered. Pavement condition data indicated that fatigue distress predictions were approximately comparable to the pavement condition data for the interstate pavement structure, but fatigue was over-predicted for the primary route structure. Fatigue model predictive errors were greater than the distress predictions for all predictions. Based on the findings of this study, further refinement or calibration of the predictive models is necessary before the benefits associated with their use can be realized. A local calibration process should be performed to provide calibration and verification of the predictive models so that they may accurately predict the conditions of Virginia roadways. Until then, implementation using Level 3 inputs is recommended. If the models are modified, additional evaluation will be necessary to determine if the other recommendations of this study are impacted. Further studies should be performed using Level 1 and Level 2 input properties of additional asphalt mixtures to validate the trends seen in the Level 3 input predictions and isolate the effects of binder grade changes on the predicted distresses. Further, additional asphalt mixture and binder properties should be collected to populate fully a catalog for VDOT's future implementation use. The implementation of these recommendations and use of the MEPDG are expected to provide VDOT with a more efficient and effective means for pavement design and analysis. The use of optimal pavement designs will provide economic benefits in terms of initial construction and lifetime maintenance costs.
