Abstract: The global Pavement-mechanistic-empirical (ME) transfer functions have been calibrated using the long-term pavement performance (LTPP) pavement sections at the national level. These functions may need calibration for local ...

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 ...
