Abstract:

MODULUS 5.0 is the latest version of the widely used flexible pavement backcalculation system developed by the Texas Transportation Institute for the Texas DOT. This report is a Users Manual for MODULUS 5.0. The major additions to this system are routines to estimate remaining structure life; and classify surface base and subgrade layer strengths. Appendix A provides a discussion of the background to both of these routines. Appendix B provides guidelines on how to perform the backcalculation and how to interpret the results. MODULUS 5.0 is now being implemented state wide as an integral part of TxDOT's pavement evaluation and design system.
