Abstract This user manual provides guidance on how to use the new High PERformance PAVing (HIPERPAV®) III software program for the analysis of early-age Portland cement concrete pavement (PCCP) behavior. HIPERPAV® III includes several improvements over previous versions including (1) improvements to the interface to allow users to navigate through the software program with more ease; (2) the ability to characterize heat evolution of a particular cement paste to improve the precision of the software program’s models; (3) the addition of a batch mode to allow users to analyze several strategies at once; and (4) the incorporation of a comparisons module with sensitivity analysis tools to offer users the opportunity to quickly discern differences in the effects of environmental, design, and construction variables on strength gain, stress development, and early-age strength-to-stress relationships. The objectives of this research project were to enhance the moisture transport modeling in the HIPERPAV® software program and to add features to further improve the software program.
