The AASHTO guide for the Design of Pavement Structures is the primary document used by state highway agencies to design new and rehabilitated highway pavements. Currently the Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) uses the 1993 edition of the AASHTO pavement design guide, based on empirical performance equations, for the design of Jointed Plain Concrete Pavements (JPCP). However, the newly released Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide (MEPDG) provides methodologies for mechanistic-empirical pavement design while accounting for local materials, environmental conditions, and actual highway traffic load distribution by means of axle load spectra. The major objective of this study was to predict pavement distresses from the MEPDG design analysis for selected in-service JPCP projects in Kansas. Five roadway sections designed by KDOT and three long term pavement performance (LTPP) sections in Kansas were analyzed. Project-specific construction, materials, climatic, and traffic data were also generated in the study. Typical examples of axle load spectra calculations from the existing Weigh-in-Motion (WIM) data were provided.
