A History of Modern Accelerated Performance Testing of Pavement Structures

The type of research conducted at the National Center for Asphalt Technology’s (NCAT) Pavement Test Track is known as full-scale Accelerated Performance Testing (APT). APT is the controlled application of a prototype wheel loading, at or above the appropriate legal load limit, to a layered pavement system to determine pavement response and document performance as damage accumulates in a compressed time period. A great variety of APT experiments have been executed over the last hundred years. This document is the result of a literature review on the history and evolution ofAPT that was foundational to the success of the first research cycle at the NCAT Pavement Test Track.
