Once downloaded, open the file mepads.exe to extract the setup files.
Then open setup.exe to install the mePADS software. This software is fully functional in terms of the pavement analysis, with file save and print functions disabled. In order to use the full functionality of the software, a license code must be obtained from CSIR. Please e-mail or fax your USER key to Rianie Castelyn. Contact details at bottom of page.
Engineering features: The Pavement Analysis & Design Software
package is based on the SA Mechanistic Pavement Design Method. The software
combines a stress-strain computational engine with pavement materials models
developed at CSIR Built Environment. Using the Windows Graphical User Interface any
pavement system can be quickly defined and analysed for bearing capacity and
design reliability. The design outputs include pavement layer lives and contour
plots of stresses and strains.
