Analyses Performed Using the Rigid Pavement Database in Texas

This report is the fifth out of six reports prepared for Research Project 0-1778 “TxDOT Rigid Pavement Database,” conducted by the Center for Transportation Research (CTR) of the University of Texas at Austin and funded by the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT). Project 0-1778 documents the efforts conducted for the evaluation of hundreds of pavement test sections that rationally represent the concrete pavement network in Texas. Thousands of condition surveys have been conducted during the last thirty years, and all the information that has been collected has contributed to a better understanding of materials and their performance. In addition, the pavement database has technically contributed to the development of other research studies that have focused on evaluating different variables that affect pavement performance, such as aggregate type and placement season of concrete. This report presents examples of data analyses that can be conducted with the use of the information in the database. It describes various tasks that have been carried out to interpret the information contained in the database.
