Title: SPECIFIC PAVEMENT STUDIES: EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN AND PARTICIPATION REQUIREMENTS
Accession Number: 00815170
Record Type: Monograph
Availability: Transportation Research Board Library 500 Fifth Street, NW Abstract: The initial Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP) Long Term Pavement Performance (LTPP) Specific Pavement Studies (SPS) program consists of eight experiments, designated SPS-1 through SPS-8, divided into four categories as follows: 1. Structural Factors (a) SPS-1: Strategic Study of Structural Factors for Flexible Pavements, (b) SPS-2: Strategic Study of Structural Factors for Rigid Pavements; 2. Preventive Maintenance (a) SPS-3: Preventive Maintenance Effectiveness of Flexible Pavements, (b) SPS-4: Preventive Maintenance Effectiveness of Rigid Pavements; 3. Pavement Rehabilitation (a) SPS-5: Rehabilitation of Asphalt Concrete Pavements, (b) SPS-6: Rehabilitation of Jointed Portland Cement Concrete Pavements, (c) SPS-7: Bonded Concrete Overlays of Concrete Pavements; 4. Environmental Effects (a) SPS-8: Study of Environmental Effects in the Absence of Heavy Loads. The Preventive Maintenance Effectiveness experiments SPS-3 and SPS-4, which are part of the Highway Operations research program, are not included in this report. Each LTPP SPS experiment ( SPS-1, 2, 5, 6, 7, and 8) will require a number of test sites in each of the four environmental regions (wet-freeze, dry-freeze, wet-no freeze and dry-no freeze). This report describes the experimental design for each of the six experiments and outlines state or province participation requirements. In addition, forms for nominating projects for these experiments are included.
Supplemental Notes: This document supercedes the November 1989 version.
