Dynamic Modulus Master Curve Construction Using the Modified MEPDG Model. Authors: Nuryantizpura Mohamad Rais. View Profile, Md. Design Guide (MEPDG), and (3) the ACPA method for bonded concrete overlays on asphalt (BCOA) pavements. The first method, the 1993 AASHTO Guide, is the procedure most commonly used today for concrete overlay thickness design. The MEPDG is currently being implemented and evaluated by numerous state DOTs and is therefore included here.
NEW: ME-PDG - Version 1.1 is now available for download from this website through 30 September 2011.Design Guide (MEPDG), documented in NCHRP Report 01-37A (2004). This MEPDG method is being adapted by the Wyoming Department of Transportation (WYDOT) for roadway designs. However, the default input variables recommended in the MEPDG were developed based on national conditions that do not reflect the local Wyoming conditions. VDOT planned MEPDG implementation in mid 2000 VDOT was one of the 15 lead agencies to implement MEPDG Significant works were deemed needed. Materials, traffic, local calibration, training etc. Started ‘shadow’ design from 2014 Official implementation date set at January 1, 2018 18 VDOT’s MEPDG Implementation at a Glance. With the implementation of the MEPDG. 1.3 Report Organization. A comprehensive literature review focusing on the performance of the MEPDG is summarized in Section 2 of this report. Section 3 focuses on the national as well as the regional implementation of the MEPDG and includes a summary of the findings of the user group meeting.
Draft Research Results Digest: Changes to the Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide Software Through Version 0.900, July 2006
Click here to ME-PDG Version 1.100 is No Longer Available
ME-PDG Version 1.1 requires updated Climatic files from version 0.910 or later, which can be download here. Updated Hourly Climatic Data.
Check back regularly for updates to the ME-PDG. As new features are added and bugs fixed updates and patches to the software will be posted as they become available.
The online version of the Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide (ME-PDG) is available to anyone with Internet access who has an interest in evaluating the guide and software. The pavement design guide is provided in an Adobe PDF format that is read-only, non-save, non-printable, and non-editable. The software can be downloaded for installation on a local drive in executable form, but its copy-protection feature requires access to the Internet to check for a specific file on the Transportation Research Board web server at each use. Certain supporting technical reports from Project 1-37A are available online in an unrestricted PDF format. This version will expire when the guide and software are available from AASHTO or at another time determined by NCHRP. NCHRP may revise this version as necessary and provide updates on the Internet.

About This Item
Full Description
Currently, there is no commercially available software program associated with the MEPDG manual, however, AASHTO has issued a project solicitation to its member states for the development of commercial grade software for the design and analysis of new and rehabilitated pavements using mechanistic-empirical methods. If the required number of states fund the proposed project, software development is expected to be completed by mid-2011. If you have additional questions about this software program, please contact Vicki Schofield at vschofield@aashto.org.
