Evaluation of emerging performance tests and pavement performance prediction models using the FlexPAVETM software

This paper outlines the impact of changes in material properties, mixture density levels, and pavement structure on FlexPAVE^TM outputs. This study is focused on evaluating the rutting and fatigue performance characteristics of asphalt pavements throughout pavement life cycle using FlexPAVE^TM software. A dense grade asphalt mixture from a field project is utilized in this evaluation. The results of this study provide insight on FlexPAVE^TM pavement performance predictions for various factors.
