Hierarchical Linear Models (HLMs) or Linear Mixed-Effects (LMEs) models are often utilized to analyze multilevel data. Because of the hierarchy of data structure, the exploratory analysis, statistical modeling, and examination of model-fit of multilevel data are more complicated than those of standard multiple regressions. Based on the past experience in the development of modeling techniques, this study is focused on the development of Nonlinear Mixed-Effects Modeling techniques for aiding multilevel pavement data analysis. The entire project consists of two phases to be completed within two years. The main focus of this study is to develop a systematic modeling approach using visual-graphical techniques, LMEs, and Nonlinear Mixed-Effects Models (NLMEs) for the analysis of the original AASHO Road Test flexible pavement data. Different predictive models using nonlinear regression and modern regression techniques will also be developed for comparison purposes. The proposed visual-graphical techniques will be demonstrated via several multilevel data. From the application of the proposed methods, investigators can answer the research questions that most addressed in multilevel studies. These questions include characterizing or describing the patterns at both the group and individual level, identifying the important predictors and unusual subjects, choosing suitable statistical models, selecting random-effects structures, suggesting possible residuals covariance models, and examining the model-fits. Subsequently, the applicability of the well-known 18-kip equivalent single axle load (ESAL) concept will be further examined. The major tasks include: 1. Literature review of LMEs, NLMEs, and visual graphical methods. 2. Preparation the original AASHO Road Test flexible pavement data and the analysis of the existing design equation. 3. Models development using nonlinear regression and modern regression techniques. 4. Conducting exploratory data analysis using visual graphical methods. 5. Models development using Linear Mixed-Effects Models. 6. Models development using Nonlinear Mixed-Effects Models. 7. Conducting sensitivity analysis and examination of the model-fit 8. Integration of the proposed systematic NLMEs modeling approach. 9. Reexamine the applicability of the 18-kip ESAL concept. 10. Conducting feasibility study of integrating LTPP seasonal monitoring data and time series analysis for future study.
