PORTLAND CEMENT CONCRETE PAVEMENT EVALUATION SYSTEM (COPES)

A Concrete Pavement Evaluation System (COPES) has been developed for direct use or as a guide for the creation of similar systems tailored to the specific needs of users. COPES provides a framework and procedures for collecting historical and field data on the characteristics and performance of in-service portland cement concrete pavements. As part of the research study, data were collected in six states using COPES. These data were subsequently analyzed to demonstrate the potential applications for such data analyses in examining the design, construction, maintenance, and rehabilitation of concrete pavements. The report will be of interest to engineers and researchers concerned with the performance and the evaluation of concrete pavements. COPES procedures and data items should also be of direct benefit to those involved in the development or execution of pavement management systems. Data collected during the study are available on request. (Author)
