Distress Identification Manual for the Long-Term Pavement Performance Program (Fifth Revised Edition)
Manual developed to provide a consistent, uniform basis for collecting distress data on the LTPP program. The manual provides a common language for describing cracks, potholes, rutting spalling, and other pavement distresses.
Falling-Weight Deflectometers Calibration
Falling Weight Deflectometer (FWD) calibrations are critical for highway monitoring activities. FWDs must be calibrated and used properly, otherwise, measurements will be inaccurate. A first generation FWD calibration system was developed in the early 1990s for the Strategic Highway...
LTPP Products
Products derived from the Long-Term Pavement Performance (LTPP) program have been made available to State departments of transportation and other segments of the highway community since the early years of the program. Initially, these were methods, guidelines, and procedures for standardized...
Long-Term Pavement Performance Program Data Analysis
The Long-Term Pavement Performance (LTPP) Program data analysis projects takes the raw data collected from the program's more than 2,500 pavement test sections and converts them into useable information. The projects address a broad array of topics—from field validation of pavement design...
