Superpave In-Situ Stress/Strain Investigation, Phase II Volume I: Summary Report

To address Superpave design concerns the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) sponsored a comprehensive 5-year project called Superpave In-Situ Stress/Strain Investigation (SISSI). Phase I ran from May 2001 - May 2006. The second phase was completed on November 30, 2008. This project was a unique, state-of-the-art instrumentation, validation and analysis project that encompassed eight different pavement sections in the northern and southern parts of Pennsylvania. With the very extensive amount of data collected during Phase I of the project, it was decided that Phase II would focus on extensive analysis of the collected data and implementation of results from Phase I. The major goal of Phase II was to use the SISSI data with the AASHTO newly developed mechanistic design guide (MEPDG). The present report is one of four volumes, Volume I: Summary Report; Volume II: Materials Characterization; Volume III: Field Data Collection and Summary; Volume IV: Mechanistic Analysis and Implementation. This is the summary report for Phase II of the Superpave In-Situ Stress/Strain Investigation.
