INSTRUMENTING OHIO TEST PAVEMENT

The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) constructed a test pavement on US-23 in Delaware County, Ohio. Of the nine Specific Pavement Studies (SPS) formulated by the Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP), four (SPS-1, SPS-2, SPS-8, and SPS-9) were included at the OH-SHRP DEL-23 site. Sensors were carefully selected and installed to monitor structural response and seasonal parameters on the basis of prior field experiences accumulated in the United States and Canada. Criteria used to select the sensors were cost, accuracy, sensitivity, longevity, and level of success in previous pavement research projects, especially projects in Ohio. Described here is the development of the Ohio test pavement in terms of objectives, overall instrumentation plan, and selection of sensors as well as typical instrumentation plans for asphalt concrete and portland cement concrete sections.
