Development of a Flexible Database for Local Calibration of MEPG

This is a two-phased project over three years with phases (1)development of a comprehensive database, and (2) performance of local material calibration of MEPDG. The developed database will be applied to a pavement structure as a model for implementation of MEPDG as a viable pavement design methodology. This project will serve to identify gaps within the data and MEPDG model that prevent full implementation of design guide.
