- Abstract
The Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide (MEPDG) was emerged and calibrated based on the North American conditions for analysis and designing of flexible and rigid pavements. Implementing this guide in elsewhere needs evaluation using local data, if need be, the local calibration should be conducted to improve the accuracy of the pavement distress prediction models. The state agencies in Unıted States of America (USA) and some developing countries have followed different implementation methodologies to apply the method. In this study, a detailed methodology was developed for the implementation of the ME Rigid Pavement Design Guide in Turkey. This methodology can serve as a guide for local calibration of the MEPDG in Turkey as well as the other countries.
