TL;DR: In this paper, the results from a test program to characterise resilient modulus (M R ) of subgrade soils for different geographic regions in South Carolina were presented, and the results of the test program were used to evaluate the resilience of the Shelby tube sample.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed pavement performance evaluation models using data from primary and interstate highway systems in the state of South Carolina, USA using regression techniques, which include 4 for Asphalt Concrete (AC) pavements and 4 for Jointed Plain Concrete Pavements (JPCP).

TL;DR: Using a system dynamic concept, this paper developed two approaches for the first time: (1) the PCI approach, where a specific maintenance treatment is applied when the pavement condition index (PCI) value of a pavement section reaches a minimum defined value; and (2) the combined PCI-SCI approach, which applies when either the PCI or the SCI reached a minimum value.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identify existing historical data (i.e., climate, traffic, pavement design information, material properties, and pavement performance) within the South Carolina Department of Transportation for use in the local calibration of the Mechanistic Empirical Pavement Design Guide (MEPDG) for South Carolina.

TL;DR: The resilient modulus (MR) of subgrade material is an important parameter in pavement design using the Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide (MEPDG) and has a significant influence on pavemen.
