Pavement ME Design – Impact of Local Calibration, Foundation Support, and Design and Reliability Thresholds
The National Center for Asphalt Technology at Auburn University has released a report that examines the design thresholds and reliability levels when implementing the local calibration process of the Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide (MEPDG). This report presents results of a case study that compares pavement designs conducted with global and local calibration coefficients and illustrates the effect of performance criteria, reliability levels, and foundation support on pavement design.
