model the number of load repetitions to fatigue failure of the rigid base layer.
The modeling of fatigue failure of the HMA layer was based on the model presented by
18
where
h
ac
= total thickness of asphalt layer (in).
In the rigid layer fatigue case, the modeling was based on two criteria: (1) the MEPDG
CSM fatigue failure transfer function for soil cement, CTB, and lean mix (Equation 15) and (2)
the PCA concrete fatigue failure transfer function for RCC and PCC (Equations 16 through 19).

Permanent Deformation (Rutting) Modeling.
The modeling of rutting in the HMA
layer uses the relationship from the MEPDG (NCHRP, 2004), Equation 20, to obtain the
accumulated plastic strain. This strain results from the sum of various plastic strain deformations
inside the bituminous layer, which can be used to determine the rut depth after a specific number
of load repetitions. To compute the rut depth, the HMA layer is divided into sub-layers
according to the criterion described in the MEDPG, and plastic strains are computed at various
points located at different depths from the surface.
