• Abstract:
  There are great advantages in the design of infrastructure if design procedures are used that are based ; on mechanisms and variables that determine the performance of the element in service. The American ; Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) have recently published a new ; mechanistic and empirical pavement design guide (MEPDG) for flexible and rigid pavements which ; aims to accomplish this. This design guide is implemented through the use of computer software that ; provides an analysis of the performance of a given concrete pavement over time. The Oklahoma ; Department of Transportation (ODOT) is investigating the implementation of the MEPDG and has ; sponsored a research project at Oklahoma State University to help determine the recommended input ; parameters for concrete pavements in the state. ; This reports completes a sensitivity analysis of the MEPDG based on Oklahoma pavements, provides a ; literature review of base material best practices, increases the Oklahoma weather data available for the ; MEPDG, investigates the impact of curing on curling from drying shrinkage and from temperature ; differentials in concrete pavements, provides regional input guidance for strength, coefficient of ; thermal expansion, and shrinkage for Oklahoma concrete mixtures.
