• Developed in 2001 by Bruce Tanquist
• Currently on version 6.1• Inputs – Climate, Structure
(materials), Traffic• Output – Fatigue Cracking
& Rutting
MnPAVE
![Page 5: MnDOT Experience with the Integration Process Tim Clyne January 24, 2012 AFK50(2) Subcommittee Meeting](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062223/551b44f65503465c7e8b539d/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
• Overlay design module• Reduction in modulus due to cracks• Unsaturated soil properties• Best value granular materials• 5 seasons• Reliability• Statewide hands-on training
MnPAVE Unique Features
![Page 6: MnDOT Experience with the Integration Process Tim Clyne January 24, 2012 AFK50(2) Subcommittee Meeting](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062223/551b44f65503465c7e8b539d/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
• MnDOT Districts use MnPAVE more as comfort level growso Not standard practice yet, but will be in the next
1-2 yearso We developed MnPAVE 10+ years ago, then
paused because MEPDG was coming• State Aid system (cities & counties) use
MnPAVE as standard practice
MnPAVE Use

• Evaluate default inputs• Identify deficiencies in the software• Sensitivity analysis• Evaluate the prediction capabilities of the
MEPDG• Recalibrate performance prediction models
for Minnesota conditions
2004 Calibration for HMA & PCC

• MnPAVE does not address thermal cracking• MEPDG model is OK, but not great• TPF-5(080) and TPF-5(132) improving models
& testing capabilities
Low Temperature Cracking

• Develop Mixture Specificationo Mix Designo Quality Assurance
Fracture Mechanics Approach

ILLI-TC Model
Modeling can provide:• True performance
prediction (cracking vs. time)
• Input for maintenance decisions
• Insight for policy decisions

M-E Evaluation
![Page 12: MnDOT Experience with the Integration Process Tim Clyne January 24, 2012 AFK50(2) Subcommittee Meeting](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062223/551b44f65503465c7e8b539d/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
• 120-day trial periodo Will soon get single user
license• Compared results to
MEPDG v 1.1• Checking past MnROAD
cells
DARWin-ME Evaluation
![Page 13: MnDOT Experience with the Integration Process Tim Clyne January 24, 2012 AFK50(2) Subcommittee Meeting](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062223/551b44f65503465c7e8b539d/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
• 1:1 Inputs• Darwin defaults• MEPDG defaults
• PCC Sensitivity• HMA Runs• MnROAD Mainline
Traffic
DARWin-ME vs. MEPDG
![Page 14: MnDOT Experience with the Integration Process Tim Clyne January 24, 2012 AFK50(2) Subcommittee Meeting](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062223/551b44f65503465c7e8b539d/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Objective:Develop a design catalogue that further refines
the MEPDG design for a limited number of rigid pavement projects that, taken together, form a basis for all the projects built in the State of Minnesota.• JPCC• Thick Whitetopping (> 6”)
Simplified PCC Design Catalogue
![Page 15: MnDOT Experience with the Integration Process Tim Clyne January 24, 2012 AFK50(2) Subcommittee Meeting](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062223/551b44f65503465c7e8b539d/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
• Basic tiers of traffic levels• Basic regional climate• Shoulder width• Base/subbase type and thickness• PCC mix properties• Joint spacing (12-foot vs. 15-foot)• Drainage• Basic tiers for aggregate coefficient of thermal
expansion
Critical Inputs to Consider

• MnDOT has been conducting many E* testso Intend to incorporate into ME Design
• MnDOT is acquiring IDT test fixture for LTC
Where We’re At
![Page 17: MnDOT Experience with the Integration Process Tim Clyne January 24, 2012 AFK50(2) Subcommittee Meeting](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062223/551b44f65503465c7e8b539d/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
• Still having issues with climate data
General Issues to Resolve
![Page 18: MnDOT Experience with the Integration Process Tim Clyne January 24, 2012 AFK50(2) Subcommittee Meeting](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062223/551b44f65503465c7e8b539d/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
• Stabilized Full Depth Reclamationo Which stabilizer to use?o Bound (pavement)or unbound (base) material?o Should we test E* or Mr?
General Issues to Resolve
![Page 19: MnDOT Experience with the Integration Process Tim Clyne January 24, 2012 AFK50(2) Subcommittee Meeting](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062223/551b44f65503465c7e8b539d/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
• MEPDG is not for the casual user• Not ready yet for deployment• Total cost of ownership
o Calibrate & validate each new version
Barriers to Full Implementation
![Page 20: MnDOT Experience with the Integration Process Tim Clyne January 24, 2012 AFK50(2) Subcommittee Meeting](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062223/551b44f65503465c7e8b539d/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
• Materials & Design “play well” together• Construction personnel (inspectors & contractors)
are the missing link• We don’t do a good job of educating them on
what’s important and why• Our specs may not be set up to achieve the
performance we design for• Enterprise Risk Management
