National Concrete Pavement Technology Center

Project description

The Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) has been moving toward using the Mechanistic–Empirical Pavement Design Guide (MEPDG), which deploys mechanistic and mathematical principles to analyze the material behaviors. For the smooth transition to this updated pavement design approach for rigid pavement design, GDOT has been developing a statewide database of concrete mixture properties to select appropriate input variables and levels for rigid pavement designs, which are consistent with the level of importance required for specific pavement design projects.
