Pavement performance zone based on mechanistic-empirical design and temperature indices

This study aims to develop pavement performance zones specifically for flexible pavement design for the state of Michigan. Different from climate zones, pavement performance zones are regions with overall homogeneous pavement distresses, and they can make a more reliable guide for the pavement design in a region. Air temperature, pavement surface temperature, and pavement distress predicted from mechanistic-empirical design were utilized to...
