Abstract:

This Long-Term Pavement Performance (LTPP) data analysis was intended to examine, in a practical way, the LTPP data base and to identify the site conditions and design features that significantly affect transverse joint faulting. In other words, the emphasis was to identify what works and what does not work to control the development of joint faulting.
