• Abstract:
  The Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) is moving toward the implementation ; of the new American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials ; (AASHTO) Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide (MEPDG) for pavement ; design. The MEPDG provides a rational pavement design framework based on ; mechanistic-empirical principles to characterize the effects of climate, traffic, and ; material properties on the pavement performance, as compared with the 1993 AASHTO ; Guide for Design of Pavement Structures. Before moving to the MEPDG, the nationally ; calibrated MEPDG distress prediction models need to be further validated and calibrated ; to the local condition.
