1950’s AASHO Road Test DataRefinements in 1986 and 1993 to materials inputs, reliability and rehab designHeavy truck traffic has increased 10‐20 times since the 1960’sRoad test pavements sustained 1 million axle load applications

equates to less than what some modern pavements carry in the first few yearsApplication of this procedure to modern traffic means that we have to extrapolate the dataRehabilitation design procedures were not included in the AASHO testClimate not consideredOne type of subgrade was usedOne PCC and one HMA mixture were usedTruck characteristices have changed

Empirical: Based on, concerned with, or verifiable by observation or experience rather than theory or pure logic.Mechanistic:  Determined by physical processes alone

With the SN some key factors were unaccounted for

Joint Task Force on Pavementsa got together in the 90’s and decided that a new design guide was needed

Came out with Guide for Mechanistic‐Empirical Design

OF NEW AND REHABILITATED PAVEMENT

STRUCTURES in 2002

Mechanistic Design = Purely Scientific Approach relying on mechianics of structural behavior loading.  Requires knowledge of fundamental material properties and precise geometric properties of the structure

Empirical Design = design based on experimental results or experience.  Requires many observations to establish links between design variables and performance.  Does not require scientific basis for observed relationships

Empirical Data from thousands of test sites across US and Canada (LTPPP) since 1987

ME = determines pavement responses through matematical models and relates them to observed performance

Reliability – probability that pavement will not exceed the performance criteria
