The predicted loading is simply the predicted number of 80 kN (18,000 lb.) ESALs that the pavement will experience over its design lifetime. It can also be used to perform loss of support analysis and load transfer efficiency (LTE) calculations. The 1993 AASHTO Guide equation requires a number of inputs related to loads, pavement structure and subgrade support. The tool is capable of analyzing raw deflection data files obtained from Falling Weight Deflectometer (FWD) testing devices, backcalculating in-place elastic layer moduli for flexible and rigid pavements and generating inputs for performing rehabilitation design using Pavement ME. AASHTO Rigid Pavement Design Method - This is the standard method for concrete road design in the US and many other countries around the world.UK TRL 87 Method - This is the standard design method for concrete road design in the UK. The Pavement ME Deflection Data Analysis and Backcalculation Tools is a standalone software program that can be used to generate backcalculation inputs to the AASHTO Pavement ME Design software for rehabilitation design. In this video, the use of software 'FlexPave' is explained that helps its user decide on depths for different layers of road pavement. ME Design is a production-ready software tool to support the day-to-day pavement design functions of public and private pavement engineers. ME Design supports AASHTO"s Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide, Interim Edition: A Manual of Practice. ***ĪASHTOWare Pavement ME Design is the next generation of AASHTOWare® pavement design software, which builds upon the mechanistic-empirical pavement design guide, and expands and improves the features in the accompanying prototype computational software. ***AASHTOWare Pavement ME Design v2.6 is now available.
