Empirical-Markovian approach for estimating the flexible pavement structural capacity: Caltrans method as a case study

An Empirical-Markovian approach is proposed to estimate the pavement structural capacity as a function of key stochastic and design parameters. The key stochastic parameters are the initial and terminal deterioration transition probabilities typically estimated from pavement distress records. These...
