Assignment title: Management


1. Develop a trial design for the project. 2. Run the AASHT Ware Pavement ME Design to forecast the main distresses and smoothness for the trial design. 3. Review the forecasted performance of the trial design against the given performance model and adjust the trial design as required for the purpose of producing a feasible architecture that fulfills the performance principles. Pavement responses such as strains, deflections, and stresses are combined with other pavement, climate, traffic, as well as material parameters to forecast the progression of main pavement smoothness and distresses loss with time. The outputs are the foundation for checking the adequacy of a trial design. The Mechanistic-Empirical (M-E) approach ensures optimization of the design and maximally ensures that certain distress sorts will be restricted to values that are less than the failure criteria within the design life of the pavement structures (Choubane, 2007, 118). The main steps are listed below: Identify a trial design
