Long-Term Pavement Performance Ohio SPS-1 and SPS-2 Dynamic Load Response Data Processing

Publication Information

Publication Type:
Technical Report
Publication Number:
FHWA-HRT-14-088
Abstract:

This report documents the reinterpretation of the dynamic load response (DLR) traces for selected Long-Term Pavement Performance (LTPP) test sections in Ohio. The report also describes the work performed to correct data issues such as trace peak time lag shifts, sensor locations, and wheelpath offsets for asphalt concrete and portland cement concrete pavements. The reinterpreted DLR data have been made available in the LTPP program’s Standard Data Release 27.0 and later versions.(1) This new LTPP DLR data will serve as a unique resource for researchers in investigating the dynamic interaction between truck axle loads and pavements, validating their pavement dynamic loading models, and developing mechanistic pavement performance prediction models.
