Caltrans is in the process of implementing Mechanistic-Empirical design procedures. All mechanisticempirical methods must be validated/calibrated against the behavior of real pavements. This should be done before implementing models in design methods to ensure that designs will be reasonable....

This report is the first in a series of four reports that describe the results of accelerated pavement tests on full-scale pavements with “wet†base conditions at the Pavement Research Center, located at the University of California Berkeley Richmond Field Station (RFS). The report...
