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.
