The Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide (MEPDG) was developed with an objective to provide the highway community with a state-of-the-practice tool for t

The AASHTOWare Pavement ME Design (PMED) is a novel design method for new and rehabilitated pavement designs based on mechanistic-empirical design principles. T

As AASH is expected to eventually adopt the MEPDG at its primary pavement design method, it is critical that the SDDOT become familiar with the MEPGD documentat

A mechanistic-empirical (ME) pavement design procedure allows for analyzing and selecting pavement structures based on predicted distress progression resulting
