This research will speed the adoption of the MEPDG in Oklahoma.244 pages8,949,060 bytesapplication.pdfDEVELOPMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION OF A MECHANISTIC AND EMPIRICAL PAVEMENT DESIGN GUIDE (MEPDG) FOR RIGID PAVEMENTS-PHASE I (FHWA-OK-12-06 2208)Technical ReportConcreteMEPDGcuringcoefficient of thermal expansionshrinkage
