摘要：	This student handbook is to provide basic and advanced training about the use of the Texas M-E Flexible Pavement Design and Analysis System (TxME). It can be used as 1) a TxME user manual and 2) a standalone resource of Mechanistic-Empirical (M-E) flexible pavement design training material. The purposes of the TxME training are to: Provide students advanced, in-depth knowledge about the flexible pavement design; Help students understand the importance of M-E models in Texas prediction; Allow students to examine the influence of key input parameters such as climate, traffic, pavement structure, and material property; Let students explore different combinations of material design and thickness design and choose the best option; and Help students to identify the issues that some kind of materials or pavement structures may cause.
