The New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) has used the AASHTO 1993 Design Guide for the design of new flexible pavement structures for more than two decades. The AASHTO 1993 Guide is based on the empirical design equations developed from the data collected in the AASHO Road Test in the early 1960s. A newer pavement design method, called the Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide (MEPDG), was developed by the National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) to provide a more efficient and accurate design method that is based on sound engineering principles. The MEPDG models have been incorporated in the AASHTOWare Pavement ME Design 2.1 software program. Due to the advanced principles and design capabilities of the AASHTOWare program, NYSDOT decided to implement the MEPDG and calibrate the distress models included in the software for the conditions in the state. This report summarizes the local calibration of the distress models for the Northeast (NE) region of the United States and the development of new design tables for new flexible pavement structures. Design, performance, and traffic data collected on the Long-Term Pavement Performance (LTPP) sites in the NE region of the United States were used to calibrate the distress models. First, the AASHTOWare Pavement ME Design 2.1 with global calibration factors was used to compare the predicted and measured distress values. The local bias was assessed for all distress models except for the longitudinal cracking model; it was found the bias existed for this model even after calibration. The thermal cracking model was not calibrated because of inaccurate measured data. The calibration improved the prediction capability of the rutting, fatigue cracking, and smoothness prediction models. The calibrated AASHTOWare software was used to run design cases for combinations of traffic volume and subgrade soil stiffness (resilient modulus, Mr) for 24 locations in the state of New York. The runs were performed for a road classified as Principal Arterial Interstate, 90% design reliability level, and 15- and 20-year design periods. State-wide average traffic volume parameters and axle load spectra were used to define the traffic. The configuration specified in the current design table used by NYSDOT, which is included in the Comprehensive Pavement Design Manual (CPDM), was followed for the pavement design solutions. The thicknesses for the select granular subgrade materials and the asphalt layer thicknesses were varied to include several values higher and lower than the thickness recommended by the CPDM. The thicknesses of asphalt surface and binder layers were kept constant; only the thickness of the asphalt base layer was changed. For each design combination, the design case with the thinnest asphalt layer for which the predicted distress was less than the performance criteria was selected as the design solution. The design solutions for each of the 24 locations were assembled in design tables. The comparison of the design tables showed that some variation in the design thickness for the asphalt layers exists with thicker asphalt layers being needed for the locations in the upper part of the New York State. The comparison between the new design tables and the table included in the CPDM proved that the new design tables require thinner asphalt layers at low Annual Average Daily Truck Traffic (AADTT) and thicker asphalt layers at high AADTT than the corresponding designs in the CPDM table.

New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) has used the AASHTO 1993 Design Guide for the design of new flexible pavement structures for more than three decades. The AASHTO 1993 Guide is based on the empirical relationships developed for the data collected in the AASHO Road Test in the early 1960's. A newer pavement design method, called the Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide (MEPDG) was developed by the National Cooperative Highway Research Program to provide a more efficient and accurate design method and based on sound engineering principles. The MEPDG models have been incorporated in the AASHTOWare Pavement ME 2.1 software program that can be purchased from AASHTO. Due to the advanced principles and design capabilities of the AASHTOWare program, NYSDOT decided to implement the MEPDG and calibrate the distress models included in the software for the conditions in the state. The work conducted in this research included the local calibration of the distress models for the North East (NE) region of the United States. Design, performance and traffic data collected on Long Term Pavement Performance (LTPP) sites in the NE region of the United States were used to calibrate the distress models. First, the AASHTOWare Pavement ME 2.1 with global calibration factors was used to compare the predicted and measured distresses, values that were used for model calibration. The local bias was assessed for all distresses models except for the longitudinal cracking model; it was found the bias existed for this model even after calibration. The thermal cracking model was not calibrated because of erroneous measured data. The calibration improved the prediction accuracy for the rutting, fatigue cracking and smoothness prediction models. The AASHTOWare software was used to run design cases for combinations of traffic volume and subgrade soil stiffness (Mr) for twenty-four locations in New York State. The runs were performed for a road classified as Principal Arterial Interstate, the 90% design reliability level and 15 years design period. State-wide average traffic volume parameters and axle load spectra were used to define the traffic. The NYSDOT's Comprehensive Pavement Design Manual (CPDM) was initially used to obtain pavement design solutions. The thicknesses for the select granular subgrade materials and the asphalt layer thicknesses were varied to include several values higher and lower than the thickness recommended by CPDM. The thicknesses of asphalt surface and binder layers were kept constant; only the thickness of the asphalt base layer was changed. For each design combination, the design case with thinnest asphalt layer for which the predicted distress was less the performance criteria was selected as the design solution. The design solutions for each of the 24 locations were assembled in design tables. The comparison of the design tables showed that some variation in the design thickness for the asphalt layers exists even, with thicker asphalt layers being needed for the locations in the Upper part of the New York State. The comparison between the new design tables and the table included in the CPDM proved that the new design tables require thinner asphalt layers at low AADTT and thicker asphalt layers at high AADTT than the corresponding design in the CPDM table. For stiff subgrade soil and low AADTT, the design thicknesses are almost the same in the new design tables and in the CPDM table.

This research developed design tables of new flexible pavement structures for New York State Department of Transportation based on the Mechanistic Empirical Design Guide (MEPDG). The design tables were developed using the MEPDG software for Regions 1, 3, and 7 for Upstate part of New York State and for Regions 8, 10, and 11 for the Downstate part of New York State. The MEPDG software was used to run design cases for combinations of: climate conditions, traffic volume, subgrade soil stiffness (Mr) and pavement structures. The conditions that the MEPDG was used to run were: the road structures classified as Principal Arterial Interstate, design 95%reliability level, 15 and 20 year analysis period. Weight in Motion (WIM) data of Region 7 were used for Region 1 and 2, also WIM data of Region 8 were used for Region 10 and 11. Climatic data specifically for each region were used. The NYSDOT's Comprehensive Pavement Design Manual (CPDM) was initially used to obtain pavement design solutions for Region 7 and 8. The granular subbase materials and thicknesses recommended by CPDM were used but only the asphalt layer thicknesses was varied to include several values higher and lower than the thickness recommended by CPDM. The thickness of asphalt binder and surface layers were kept constant. Only the thickness of the base layer was changed. For each design combination, the design case with thinnest asphalt layer for which the predicted distress was less the performance criteria was selected as the design solution. The design solutions for Regions 7 and 8 were assembled in design tables. The examination of the design tables proved that, in general, Region 7 requires thicker pavement structures than Region 8 for same Annual Average Daily Truck Traffic (AADTT) and Resilient Modulus. In the second phase, the MEPDG was used to run for Region 1, 3, 10, 11. The design solutions were tabulated first to produce the design tables for each design case. Since it was expected that the climate changing has no effects on the design solutions for the regions which belong to the same New York State part, the design tables of Region 7 were compared with the design tables of Regions 1 and 3. In addition, the design tables of Region 8 were compared with those obtained for Regions 10 and 11. The comparisons proved that the change in location within the same part of New York State affects the design solution for the same combination of subgrade soil stiffness and truck traffic volume. In the third phase, the design tables for 80% design reliability were produced for each selected region. The design tables which were developed by this study provide flexibility to the designer to design the new flexible pavement structure. The designer should select the subgrade (Mr), AADTT, design life, and the design reliability; then, the design solution could be obtained directly from the tables.

FPS 19 is the latest version of the flexible pavement design system developed by the Texas Transportation Institute for TxDOT. This version uses backcalculated elastic moduli of the pavement layer materials in the pavement design process. The MODULUS 5.1 backcalculation procedure generates the input layer moduli. The WESLEA linear elastic computer program, embedded within FPS 19, computes pavement responses. The design equation used is the same as used in FPS 11 and documented in TTI Report 32-11. The main design parameter is the Surface Curvature Index computed at the midpoint of a set of dual tires loaded to 40 Kn (9,000 lbs). FPS 19 is microcomputer-based and compatible with MS-DOS Windows 95 and Windows NT when running under the DOS window. TxDOT is implementing the FPS 19 computer program statewide as part of its new flexible pavement design system.
