Abstract:

Proper calibration of mechanistic-empirical ; (M-E) design and rehabilitation performance ; models to meet Texas conditions is essential ; for cost-effective flexible pavement designs. ; Such a calibration effort would require a ; reliable source of pavement material ; properties and performance data collected ; on a sustained basis. ; In this study, the researchers developed a ; comprehensive data storage system (DSS) ; containing material properties and ; performance data for flexible pavement and ; overlaid test sections in Texas. A minimum ; of 100 flexible pavement and overlay ; sections across Texas were monitored, and ; data were collected for subsequent ; population of the DSS to: ; - Serve as a data source for the calibration ; of the Texas M-E models and design ; software, such as the Texas M-E pavement ; design system (TxME). ; - Serve as an ongoing reference data source ; and diagnostic tool for Texas Department of ; Transportation (TxDOT) engineers and other ; transportation professionals.
