Abstract:

The Alabama Department of Transportation (ALDOT) is currently using the Alabama Design and Analysis of Pavement Thickness (ADAPT) software for their structural pavement design process, which is based on the 1993 American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) Pavement Design Guide. In 2008, the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) released the “Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide – A Manual of Practice (MEPDG)”, which documents a pavement design methodology based on engineering mechanics that has been nationally calibrated using in-service pavement performance data (AAHSTO, 2008). In 2011, AASHTO released the first version of DARWin-ME, rebranded to AASHTOWare© Pavement ME Design, which is a production ready pavement design software tool that expands and improves the features of the prototype computational software developed as part of National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) 1-37A Project - Development of the 2002 Guide for the Design of New and Rehabilitated Pavement Structures.
