Abstract:In Wisconsin's winter climate, low temperatures can cause asphalt pavements to contract and crack, reducing their ride quality and service lives. To help engineers more accurately determine how well certain pavement designs will fare in such conditions, AASHTO has developed the Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide, or MEPDG. Pavement designers can use this manual and accompanying software to predict how pavement distresses will accumulate over time by inputting information about pavement materials, climate and expected traffic levels.
