Calibration of the AASHTOWare Pavement ME Design Software for PCC Pavement in Idaho

ITD’s Research Program has conducted a number of projects to support the department’s implementation of mechanistic-empirical pavement design methods and the AASHTOWare Pavement ME design software. The purpose of this project is to develop Idaho-specific calibration factors for the performance models in the software used in the design of rigid pavements. The objective of this project is to develop local calibration (adjustment) factors for the performance models for rigid pavement design in Idaho.
