A methodology for calibrating performance models for jointed plain concrete pavements (JPCP) is presented; it is based on statistical analysis of data from the Long-Term Pavement Performance (LTPP) database. The methodology provides calibration factors to pavements in four climatic regions (dry-freeze, dry-nonfreeze, wet-freeze, and wet-nonfreeze) for the JPCP performance models in HDM-4: joint faulting, transverse cracking, joint spalling, and roughness. The procedure allows calculation of global calibration factors, which does not affect significantly the quality of the prediction compared with the quality achieved through the use of regional factors.
