• Abstract:
  The objective of TxDOT Project 0-5798 is to develop the framework for the development and ; implementation of the next level of Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide (MEPDG) for TxDOT ; (Tex-ME). A very important aspect of this project is to identify laboratory testing procedures, which can be ; used to provide TxDOT with the material properties needed as inputs to both the pavement response and ; performance prediction models. This product documents the laboratory and field procedures used to ; characterize materials; it includes the research team’s recommendations for Level 1 tests needed to ; characterize the rutting potential of asphalt, granular, and soil layers and also the cracking potential of ; asphalt layers. ; These procedures should be considered as drafts at this time, they will continue to be refined for the ; duration of this study, and the final versions will be included in the project final report. ; 17.
