Abstract This report documents enhancements incorporated in the (HIgh PERformance PAVing) HIPERPAVĀ® II software. Enhancements made within this project include the addition of two major modules: a module to predict the performance of Jointed Plain Concrete Pavement (JPCP) as affected by early-age factors and a module to predict the early-age behavior (first 72 hours) and early life (up to 1 year) of Continuously Reinforced Concrete Pavement (CRCP). Two additional Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) studies were also incorporated: one that predicts dowel bearing stresses as a function of environmental loading during the early age and a module for optimization of concrete paving mixes as a function of 3-day strength, 28-day strength, and cost. Additional functionality to the software also was incorporated by reviewing and prioritizing the feedback provided by users of the first generation of the software, HIPERPAV I. This volume provides a comprehensive set of guidelines useful in designing and constructing both JPCP and CRCP concrete pavements. In addition, this document also provides sample case studies that illustrate the proper use of HIPERPAV II to optimize concrete pavement behavior and contains a user's manual for HIPERPAV II. This is the second volume in a series of three volumes that document the different tasks carried out in accomplishing the objectives for this project.
