The primary purpose for this Long-Term Pavement Performance Data Collection Guide is to provide a uniform basis for data collection during long-term monitoring of the performance of pavement test sections under study by the Strategic Highway Research Program. One of the primary difficulties in utilization of data collected in the past has been lack of uniformity in the data. Another serious deficiency has been the omission of data that is significant to the performance of the pavements. The Long-Term Pavement Performance experiments have been carefully designed to ensure appropriate distributions of significant variables to support the objectives of these studies. This data collection guide has been developed to support these experiment designs, as well as to provide a uniform basis for the collection of other detailed data that has not been identified as a necessity for the Long-Term Pavement Performance Studies. The philosophical approach taken has been to identify those data items that are considered to be of high priority for achieving the goals of the Long-Term Pavement Performance Studies, but to provide also for a very comprehensive set of other data items that may be desirable in the National Pavement Data Base for other purposes. This guide identifies and defines data items to be collected for the Long-Term Pavement Performance Studies. It also contains data collection sheets, and lists of data codes.
