Book excerpt: Established as part of the Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP) and now managed by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), the Long Term Pavement Performance (LTPP) program faces a significant challenge. Over the past decade, the LTPP program has developed a solid knowledge base for understanding how pavements perform. Its challenge throughout its second decade is to build on this foundation--to further the understanding of why pavements perform as they do. To address this challenge, FHWA has initiated several efforts that require the support and active participation of the States and Provinces. The intent of this document is to describe the challenge the LTPP program faces and explain the efforts underway to address this challenge. This document is presented in the following sections: Introduction; The Challenge; Addressing the Challenge; Critical Issues; and Future Opportunities.

Book Long Term Pavement Performance Data Analysis Program  Effect of Dowel Misalignment on Concrete Pavement Performance

Download or read book Long Term Pavement Performance Data Analysis Program Effect of Dowel Misalignment on Concrete Pavement Performance written by Shreenath P. Rao and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Magnetic imaging tomography (MIT) scanning is a nondestructive method for measuring the alignment of dowels placed at transverse joints of jointed plain concrete pavements (JPCPs). Several highway agencies across the United States have adopted specifications for dowel alignment, with many using the joint score measure. However, this measure was developed intuitively and not based on any laboratory or field tests. National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Report 637 provides a methodology to determine an equivalent dowel diameter measure based on dowel misalignment (Khazanovich et al. 2009). This procedure was developed from laboratory tests and with limited field validation. The relationship between dowel misalignment and the performance of JPCP is unclear, but understanding it is imperative for developing construction guidelines. This report presents results of MIT scanning data collected on Long-Term Pavement Performance (LTPP) test sections and data analysis to assess the effects of dowel misalignment on JPCP performance. As part of this study, MIT scanning was performed on 121 Specific Pavement Studies-2 and 3 General Pavement Studies-3 test sections. Dowel alignment parameters, joint score, and equivalent dowel diameter were calculated as part of the analysis. Statistical analysis was performed to determine any relationship between the joint score and cracking and between the joint score and spalling. The analysis did not indicate any definitive relationship between the joint score and cracking or the joint score and spalling within the analysis range for most States, although some effect was observed for three States. This lack of relationship does not mean severely misaligned dowels have no effect on pavement performance, particularly localized distresses. Analysis of the equivalent dowel diameter as a measure of dowel misalignment for use with AASHTOWare® Pavement ME Design software suggests that using the equivalent dowel diameter is a less-biased estimator of long-term load transfer efficiency (LTE), as modeled using AASHTOWare Pavement ME Design, than using the actual dowel diameter, suggesting a relationship between dowel misalignment and long term LTE (AASHTO 2014). However, there is considerable scatter in the LTE modeled using AASHTOWare Pavement ME Design versus actual LTE. The remaining bias and scatter suggests that the models (i.e., equivalent dowel diameter and LTE in AASHTOWare Pavement ME Design) could potentially be improved using data collected as part of this study.

Book Early Analyses of Long term Pavement Performance General Pavement Studies Data

Download or read book Early Analyses of Long term Pavement Performance General Pavement Studies Data written by J. Brent Rauhut and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this report is to share the experience gained and lessons learned by research staff during early data analyses of the General Pavement Studies (GPS) and to recommend procedures for future analysts. A review of the techniques used is provided. Shortcomings of the Long-Term Pavement Performance (LTPP) Data Base, known at the time of early analyses, are discussed and data base expectations for future analyses were identified. Some interesting and useful distress and roughness prediction models were developed that illustrate the effects of several design variables. Other analytical procedures for developing predictive equations were identified and described, which may be of use in future analyses. Ten techniques used by the research staff for evaluating the American Association of Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) design equations are identified and recommendations for future evaluations provided.

Book SHRP LTPP Data Analysis Studies

Download or read book SHRP LTPP Data Analysis Studies written by William O. Hadley and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the principal objectives of the Strategic Highway Research Program Long-Term Pavement Performance (SHRP-LTPP) study was the development of a comprehensive electronic media database for housing pavement performance data covering a wide range of conditions and service life factors. The database was structured to address pavement management and engineering design issues. The extent and scope of information contained within the LTPP database and Information Management System (IMS) also provides the resources not only to evaluate or revise existing design equations but to develop new ones. During the first 5 years of the SHRP-LTPP program, most issues have been addressed in various data analysis studies. Data analysis studies concerning load equivalency factors, materials and construction variability, rutting initiation studies, and the results of the specific SHRP-LTPP data analysis contracts are presented in subsequent sections of this report. These studies represent initial efforts in pursuit of LTPP goals and operatives and are based primarily on early General Pavement Studies data.
