Abstract: This paper provides a framework for the development of Weibull reliability factors (since they describe “length of life” or endurance over time) for joint faulting models using field data from the Strategic Highway Research ...

Abstract: A parametric study was conducted using the finite-element rigid pavement program ISLAB2000. For cracks that utilize aggregate interlock as the sole means of load transfer, the integrity of the cracks was initially modeled ...

Abstract: In this paper the writers demonstrate the inclusion of the Long-Term Pavement Performance (LTPP-

Abstract: The AASHTOWare Pavement Mechanistic-Empirical (ME) Design version 2.0 performance models were locally calibrated in 2014. Subsequently, the software was updated to versions 2.2 (2015) and 2.3 (2016) since the last calibration ...

Abstract: Detailed climatic data are essential for analyzing and designing pavements using AASHTOWare pavement mechanistic-empirical design (PMED). Hourly climatic data are used in the enhanced integrated climatic model in the PMED ...

Abstract: Results are presented from a study to evaluate the relative influence of design and site factors on the performance of in-service flexible pavements. The data are from the SPS-1 experiment of the Long-Term Pavement Performance ...

Abstract: Observational or experimental studies are designed to investigate the effects of various factors on a response variable. This distinction is important because the latter studies are assumed to provide a firmer basis for ...
