Assessment of Selected LTPP Material Data Tables and Development of Representative Test Tables


Book Description

This report documents an evaluation of selected Long Term Pavement Performance (LTPP) material data tables as of January 2000. Issues addressed include the availability, characteristics, and quality of the data in the selected tables. Anomalies in the data were identified and corrected where possible, and the "cleaned-out" data were used in developing representative data tables. Recommendations for adjustments in the current data collection process are also presented

SHRP-LTPP Materials Characterization


Book Description

The Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP) developed two materials characterization programs: one for field sampling, and another for laboratory testing. The SHRP field materials sampling and laboratory materials testing program encompassed all 50 states; 10 Canadian provinces; and Puerto Rico. This report documents the development and execution of these programs for both the General Pavement Studies (GPS) and the Specific Pavement Studies (SPS). These topics are described separately here, although they are linked inherently. Suggestions are given for future materials characterization within the Long-Term Pavement Performance program as it continues under the Federal Highway Administration.







Using Existing Pavement in Place and Achieving Long Life


Book Description

This report from the second Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP 2), which is administered by the Transportation Research Board of the National Academies, focuses on improving the ability of highway agencies to design and construct long-lasting highway projects with minimal disruption to the traveling public.
