SPR-3806: Verification of the Enhanced Integrated Climatic Module Soil Subgrade Input Parameters in the MEPDG

The MEPDG method, currently used in Indiana to design all pavements, does not allow local calibration of the soil stiffness in terms of resilience modulus. The project will provide guidance to pavement design engineers for selecting re-verified soil input parameters and coefficients in the EICM module of the MEPDG.
