UNDERSTANDING SHRP: LONG-TERM PAVEMENT PERFORMANCE

The Long-Term Pavement Performance (LTPP) program covers the entire range of pavement information needs. It will draw on current technical knowledge and will develop models that will better explain how pavements perform. It will also investigate the specific effects on pavement performance of various design features, traffic and environment, use of various materials, construction quality, and maintenance practices. The specific objectives of LTPP are listed, and the LTPP study program is detailed. The latter has 3 potential types of studies: general pavement studies; specific pavement studies; and accelerated pavement studies. The accelerated loading facility under devlopment by the Federal Highway Administration is described. Details are also given of the data collection and data management aspects.
