Abstract:

This paper is a summary of the results of a study undertaken to examine environmental versus load effects on pavements. Pairs of pavement sections were examined at 14 locations in five states. At each location, one section had received normal traffic and the other had never been opened. Visual condition surveys were performed on each section, and pavement condition was compared. It is concluded that traffic loadings are a much more significant cause of pavement distress than are environmental problems.
