• Abstract:
  The AASHTOWare Pavement ME Design procedure is based on mechanistic-empirical (M-E) design concepts. This means that the design procedure calculates pavement responses such as stresses, strains, and deflections under axle loads and climatic conditions and then accumulates the damage over the design analysis period. The procedure then empirically relates calculated damage over time to pavement distresses and smoothness based on performance of actual projects throughout the U.S. with a few of these in Idaho and many others in surrounding States. There has been no local calibration to Idaho-specific conditions to date to determine how well the national prediction models and inputs relate to pavement performance in Idaho.
