Pavement Design and Performance Technology

Identifying Your Stress
DP-108 Pavement Management Analysis
DP-115 Life Cycle Cost Analysis in Pavement Design
TE-40 LTPP Product Implementation

The Pavement Design and Performance (PDP) group focuses on those technologies necessary to identify and evaluate pavement distress. This information, combined with pavement performance data obtained from field testing, constitutes the basis for pavement management systems. Similarly, life cycle cost analysis forms a basis in the decision-making process by evaluating the cost of a project for its design life. These concepts are important elements of the PDP group. Implementation of products produced under the Long Term Pavement Performance (LTPP) program is the final element of this technology group. Included is the implementation of resilient modulus test procedures, the FWD quality assurance software and the LTPP database extraction computer program.
