1 Reliability in Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide Flexible Pavement Analysis Presented By: Manuel Ayres Jr., Ph.D. At: TRB Workshop 152 Date: Jan 21, 2007 S1SP ARA0127-1

2 Summary 1. MEPDG Performance Criteria 2. Components of Variability 3. Reliability Approaches 4. Input Variables 5. Calibration and Residuals 6. Modeling Variability 7. Advantages and Disadvantages of Current Approach 2

3 Reliability - Definition "The reliability of the pavement design-performance process is the probability that a pavement section designed using the process will perform satisfactorily over the traffic and environmental conditions for the design period." (AASHTO, 1993) 3

4 2006 Recalibration: : NCHRP 1-40D1 Recalibrated models for Bottom-Up, Top-Down and Transverse Cracking, Perm Deform and IRI. Improvement of database Added 4-5 years of data Additional climatic data Lower model error Sg backcalculated moduli Lower model errors Rational sensitivity to changes in inputs Improved reliability 4

5 MEPDG Performance Criteria Flexible Pavements Terminal IRI AC Surface Down Cracking AC Bottom Up Cracking AC Thermal Fracture AC Permanent Deformation Total Permanent Deformation 5

6 Components of Variability Design Factors Environment Traffic Materials Drainage characteristics Construction Materials Equipment Procedures Experience Performance Model errors Simplified assumptions Calibration data 6

7 Reliability Approaches Evaluated Monte Carlo Simulation Obtain probability distribution Number of simulation runs required is high Time to run is high Rosenblueth Procedure Number of iterations = 2 n (n is # of stochastic variables) First Order Second Moment (FOSM) Closed form solution Require partial derivatives Distribution of Residuals n f V[ f( x1, x2,... xn ) = V[ xi] x i= 1 i 2 7

17 GB Permanent Deformation Se = GBRut

18 AC Permanent Deformation SeRDAC = 0.24 ACrut

19 Sg Permanent Deformation SeRDSG = SGrut

20 Total Permanent Deformation 20

21 Top Down Cracking 21

22 IRI Models Flexible New or Rehab Flexible New or Rehab over PCC IRI = f(iri 0, Rutting, Fat. Crack, Transv. Crack, Site Factor) Site Factor = f(subgrade, Climate, Age) Subgrade: % fine sand, silt, clay & PI Climate: Freezing index, precipitation Age (cycles hot/cold, wet/dry, freeze/thaw) First-Order, Second-Moment (FOSM) method n f V[ f( x1, x2,... xn ) = V[ xi] x i= 1 i 2 22

23 HMA - Residuals for IRI 23

24 HMA over PCC - Residuals for IRI 24

25 Thermal Fracture Std.Dev (Thermal) = * Thermal

26 Advantages & Disadvantages Advantages Improvement relative AASHTO 1993 Practical and more realistic Based on residuals from calibration May allow more economical design for local calibration Disadvantages Does not allow to evaluate change in performance due to differences in variability of individual factors Currently variability and reliability analysis does not depend upon level of design 26
