7 In this project, two models were identified and selected for further development (to form the basis of a comprehensive predictive system) because of their unique features and capabilities to address the dominant mechanisms associated with top-down cracking.

8 performance model predictions for both crack initiation and propagation. A limited calibration/validation using data from field sections in Florida and Minnesota was conducted to demonstrate how reasonably the performance model represents and accounts for the most significant factors that influence top-down cracking.
