Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide
AASHTO’s Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide represents a major step forward
in pavement design for the United States. MEPDG design software uses scientifically
measured properties of soil and pavement materials under local environmental conditions to
calculate an optimal pavement design for each construction project.
WHRP is actively supporting implementation of the MEPDG in Wisconsin through more than a dozen research projects addressing construction materials properties, software calibration and design parameters for both asphalt and concrete pavements.
