Abstract
The main objectives of this study are to investigate the actual pavement performance and the expected remaining service life of nineteen (19) asphalt concrete sections and seventeen (17) portland cement concrete sections in the State of Ohio. The thirty six (36) sections were divided into a total of twenty seven (27) projects and they were classified depending on their performance as average or excellent. The design pavement parameters, material properties, traffic loads, and traffic volumes were also considered in this study. The falling weight deflectometer test was conducted to determine the actual pavement performance whereas the mechanistic-empirical pavement design guide software was used to determine the expected remaining service life of the sections. The results obtained from the FWD and the MEPDG are shown in this study and they are consistent with the original pavement classification given to the sections.
