Analysis Of Time Domain Reflectometry Data From Ltpp Seasonal Monitoring Program Test Sections-final Report - 50 ATDRDF
(Book) - Time domain reflectometry (TDR) has become one of the most reliable methods for measuring in-situ soil moisture content. TDR sensors developed by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) are being used in the Long-Term Pavement Performance (LTPP) Seasonal Monitoring Program (SMP) to monitor the in-situ moisture content at selected LTPP sites. The main goal of the study reported here was to develop procedures to produce good estimates of in-situ gravimetric moisture content. All the TDR traces in the LTPP database were processed using the approach described in this report. To estimate the in-situ gravimetric moisture content, methods were selected to interpret TDR traces. An algorithm and a computer program, Moisture, were developed to implement these TDR interpretive methods. After that, the apparent length of the TDR trace and the dielectric constant of the unbound material were computed. Models were developed to relate dielectric constant with in-situ volumetric moisture content. Finally, gravimetric moisture content was computed using the volumetric moisture content value and dry density of the soil. A diagnostic study of the computed gravimetric moisture content was also conducted to evaluate the reasonableness of the computed moisture contents. As part of the overall LTPP data analysis effort, it is expected that the information on the seasonal variation in the moisture content of the unbound base, subbase, and subgrade layers will be used to develop improved understanding of the seasonal variation in the load-carrying capacity of pavements and the subsequent effect on pavement performance.

Assessment Of Ltpp Friction Data - 50 ALFD
(Book) - A major goal of the Long-Term Pavement Performance (LTPP) study is the development of recommendations for improving the design and construction of new and rehabilitated pavements to make them longer lasting. As part of the condition monitoring of the LTPP test sections, friction data are being collected on a regular basis at each test site. Friction data collection is the responsibility of the specific highway agency under whose jurisdiction the pavements are located. The LTPP data collection guidelines for friction data recommend using the ASTM E-274 (AASHTO T242) procedure as the preferred method for obtaining data. The ASTM E-274 procedure uses a locked-wheel skid tester in a trailer assembly. Friction test results are reported as Skid Numbers (SN's). This report provides an assessment of the availability, characteristics, and quality of the friction data collected as part of the LTPP study. Also, the availability of related pavement characteristics data was assessed. The report also contains recommendations for adjustments and refinements to current procedures for the collection of friction and related data. The LTPP database provides a one-stop source of reasonably good friction data collected in a systemic manner from a wide range of pavements subjected to a wide range of traffic loading and environmental conditions. The friction data will be of use for analyzing why some pavement surfaces retain good friction characteristics with time and why some surfaces show rapid deterioration in friction over time.

Common Characteristics Of Good And Poorly Performing Pcc Pavements - 50 CCGPP
(Book) - This report documents the analysis and findings of a study to identify the site conditions and design/construction features of rigid pavements that lead to good performance and those that lead to poor performance. Data from the Long-Term Pavement Performance (LTPP) test sections were used along with findings from previous and ongoing analyses of LTPP This report documents the analysis and findings of a study to identify the site conditions and design/construction features of concrete pavements (JPCP, JRCP, CRCP) that lead to good performance and those that lead to poor performance. Data from Long-Term Pavement Performance (LTPP) test sections were used along with findings from previous and ongoing analyses of LTPP data. As there were no known criteria for identifying performance expectations over time as good, normal, or poor; a group of experts was convened to establish criteria. Separate criteria were developed for performance in roughness (IRI), joint faulting, transverse cracking, and localized failures (CRCP). Many significant site conditions and design/construction features were identified that lead to good and poor performance. The site conditions (traffic, climate, and subgrade) cannot be controlled by the designer, however, steps can be taken to mitigate their effects. Several design and construction features can be controlled or specified by the highway agency and these should be given careful consideration. Knowledge about the design features identified as being critical to concrete pavement performance will contribute to improved guidelines for the design and construction of long-lived PCC pavements.

Design And Construction Of Pcc Pavements, Volume I: Summary Of Design Features And Construction Practices That Invluence Performance Of Pavements - 50 DCPP1
(Book) - This report documents recommendations for the design and construction of portland cement concrete (PCC) pavements. The positive outcomes of this study are the recommendations for improving PCC pavement design and the development of prediction models to be used in pavement design and management. A study has been conducted to evaluate and analyze portland cement concrete (PCC) pavements in order to develop recommendations for the design and construction of long-lived concrete pavements. It involved a detailed evaluation and analysis of the PCC pavement data in the Long-Term Pavement Performance (LTPP) database using a variety of means to determine the beneficial effects of design features and construction practices on long-term performance. Emphasis was placed on identifying those specific design features that can be included during design to improve the performance of PCC pavements under various combinations of environmental and traffic loading conditions, and for different subgrade support conditions. The study focused on the development of practical recommendations that can be easily implemented by highway agencies to increase pavement life. This volume provides a concise summary of the results that were obtained from the study. It includes an overview of the engineering and statistical analyses that were conducted and presents results that can be used by State highway agencies to obtain high-performance PCC pavements. Implementation of the recommendations will increase the reliability of PCC pavements. This report is the first in a series of three volumes from the study. The other volumes are as follows: FHWA-RD-98-127, Vol II Design Features and Practices That Influence Performance of Pavements and FHWA-RD-98-113, Vol III Improved PCC Performance Models.

Determination Of Frost Penetration In Ltpp Sections, Final Report - 50 DFP
(Book) - To better understand the environmental factors and their effects on pavement performance, the Long-Term Pavement Performance (LTPP) Seasonal Monitoring Program (SMP) was initiated during 1992. Sixty-four LTPP pavement sections were identified to be included in the SMP. These sections are monitored frequently to acquire data on seasonal variation in pavement conditions. As part of this program, work is being performed to identify and monitor the freeze state in the base, subbase, and subgrade at the SMP sections located in the freeze zone in the United States and Canada. This work makes use of temperature sensors and electrical resistivity techniques. The main goal of the study reported here was to determine frost penetration at the selected SMP sections. As part of the study, an interactive computer program, FROST, was developed to facilitate the interpretation of the electrical resistivity and temperature data. Analysis results include the freeze state at each electrical resistivity sensor and the frost penetration at each site. As part of the overall LTPP data analysis effort, it is expected that the information on the seasonal variation in the freeze state in the unbound base, subbase, and subgrade will be used to develop improved understanding of the seasonal variation in the load-carrying capacity of pavements and the subsequent effect on pavement performance.

Determining Soil Volumetric Moisture Content Using Time Domain Reflectometry - 50 DSVMCUTD
(Book) - Time domain reflectometry (TDR) is a technique used to measure indirectly the in situ volumetric moisture content of soil. Current research provides a variety of prediction equations that estimate the volumetric moisture content using the dielectric constant calculated from the apparent length obtained from the TDR reader. However, very limited research exists regarding which of several available procedures should be used to obtain the apparent length of the TDR response for use in calculating the dielectric constant. The purpose of this study is to enhance the predictive accuracy of in situ volumetric moisture content estimation from TDR measurements. The study is divided into two phases. The initial phase evaluates the five known methods of analyzing the apparent length of TDR responses to determine which provides the most accurate method for estimating the volumetric moisture content. Phase II, through a mixing model form, regresses the volumetric properties of the soil and the apparent length of the TDR response to obtain a predicted volumetric moisture content.

Investigation Of Development Of Pavement Roughness - 50 IDPR
(Book) - The Long-Term Pavement Performance (LTPP) program was designed as a 20-year study of pavement performance. The LTPP program consists of two programs: (1) General Pavement Studies (GPS) that use in-service test sections in either their original design phase or in their first overlay phase and (2) Specific Pavement Studies (SPS) that investigate the effect of specific design features on pavement performance. A major data collection effort at these test sections is the collection of longitudinal profile data along the wheel paths, which is performed annually. This report describes an investigation that was carried out to study the change in roughness at the test sections using the profile data. At the time this analysis was carried out, profile data were generally available for 4 years in the database. This report describes: (1) investigation of time-sequence roughness data collected at GPS test sections to study trends in development of roughness, (2) comparison between International Roughness Index and Ride Number, (3) development of models to predict changes in roughness, (4) investigation of roughness characteristics of new flexible and rigid pavements built for the SPS program, (5) investigation of roughness characteristics of flexible and rigid pavements that were subjected to different rehabilitation strategies under the SPS program, and (6) recommendations for quality assurance and profiling frequency for the test sections.

Ltpp Pavement Maintenance Materials: Shrp Joint Reseal Experiment, Final Report - 50 LTPPPMM
(Book) - The Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP) H-106 maintenance experiment and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Long-Term Monitoring (LTM) of Pavement Maintenance Materials Test Sites project studied the resealing of joints in concrete pavements. The purpose of joint resealing is to reduce the amount of water entering a pavement structure and to prevent the filling of joints with incompressible materials. Although joint resealing is a common maintenance practice, premature seal failure is frequent, leading to additional repair and expenditures. The purpose of this study, then, was to address the merits and deficiencies of current joint resealing materials, design, and practices. The study evaluated the relative performance of selected sealant materials, as well as the effect of selected sealant installation methods. The study also identified sealant material properties and tests that correlate well with field performance. The effect of joint seal performance on pavement life was not addressed in this study. This report documents the entire PCC joint resealing study, including the installation of 31 unique joint seal treatments (i.e., combinations of sealant material and installation method) at 5 different test sites, the laboratory testing of experimental sealant materials, and the 7-year performance monitoring of the various joint seal treatments. It also discusses the results of comprehensive statistical analyses conducted on material performance and laboratory testing data.

Mechanistic Evaluation Of Test Data From Ltpp Flexible Pavement Test Sections, Volume I: Final Report - 50 METDF1
(Book) - The study reported here was conducted to assess how well some of the existing asphalt pavement mechanistic-empirical distress prediction models performed when used in conjunction with the data being collected as part of the national Long-Term Pavement Performance (LTPP) program. As part of the study, appropriate data were obtained from the National Information Management System (NIMS) for the GPS-1 and GPS-2 experiments. The first phase of the data analysis involved using the deflection test data to backcalculate pavement layer moduli values. Using representative values of the layer moduli, structural analyses were performed for up to 140 axle-load configurations for the selected test sections. Then, the Asphalt Institute and the Shell procedures were used to predict fatigue cracking and rutting damage. The computed results were compared with observed values. Based on the results, new forms of the fatigue cracking models have been proposed. Also, a new approach to predicting rutting has been developed. This new procedure would account for rutting in each pavement layer and would consider rate-hardening typically observed in the development of rutting. This study has shown that, even given the many current limitations in the LTPP database, the LTPP data can be used successfully to develop a better insight into pavement behavior and to improve pavement performance. This volume is the second in a series. The other volume in the series is: FHWA-RD-98-020 Volume II: Final Report-Appendices (Available from NTIS only).

Atkinson Construction Employee Safety Training Program - CD WZAA09-EST
(CD) - This CD highlights how Atkinson Construction developed an extensive employee safety program that has helped cut the recordable workplace incident rate by nearly half and changed the company safety culture. The safety program is multi-faceted, integrated into regular work routines of their Design Build Project. Training begins on each employee’s first day and continues daily throughout the project. Significantly, the program includes all project employees at Atkinson, as well as subcontractors and Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) employees assigned to the project. Historically, safety has been a top-down mandate, not one readily embraced by construction workers. Atkinson has energized employees by involving them at all levels, developing a positive safety culture. In addition, Atkinson has developed plans, procedures and training for staff to prepare for emergencies: a 55-page Crisis Management Plan details corporate emergency procedures and a two-page Emergency Response Protocol outlines the steps to follow in case of emergencies.

Utah Bridge Replacement Project - CD WZAA09-BR
(CD) - Utah DOT took the opportunity of a historical bridge replacement project to educate and involve the community. The safety campaign was to build one of the most technically challenging projects in UDOT history without work zone or public accidents. Bridges were built in central location rather than over live traffic, and they utilized moveable concrete barrier to provide adequate work zone when needed and moved during non-working hours. High school, junior high, and elementary school children received onsite tours of the bridge sites. A video was produced and shown to all bridge relocation sites as well as on the I-80 website. More than 5,000 people participated at the various bridge replacements. Safety of the traveling public and work zone safety was significantly improved by the implementation of this new technology. This project will serve as a model of innovation and work zone safety for future global application.

Benefits And Costs Of Full Operations And Its Deployment - A 2003 Simulation For Seattle - 50 BCO
(Book) - People who live in urban areas nationwide report that traffic congestion is one of their greatest quality-of-life concerns. When the demand for travel in a region exceeds the available capacity of the transportation system, residents suffer from excessive travel times, increased crash risks, diminished air quality, and other negative impacts. State and local transportation agencies have found it difficult to increase the transportation system supply rapidly enough to keep pace with the growing demand. Transportation agencies are further challenged by the time required to design and construct these traditional infrastructure improvements. In response to this dilemma, transportation agencies have increasingly turned to improved operational strategies and Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) in order to squeeze more operational efficiency out of the existing transportation system.

Job Site Evaluation Of Corrosion-resistant Alloys For Use As Reinforcement In Concrete - 30 JSE
(Book) - Premature deterioration of the Nation’s concrete highway and bridge structures as a consequence of chloride (salt) exposure and resultant corrosion of reinforcing steel has evolved during the past four decades to become a formidable technological and economic problem. In response to this, epoxy-coated reinforcing steel (ECR) was adapted in the mid-1970s as a proactive measure to control this problem. Premature corrosion-induced cracking of marine bridge substructures in Florida indicated, however, that ECR is of little benefit for this type of exposure; and while performance of ECR in northern bridge decks has been generally good to date (30-plus years), still the degree of corrosion resistance to be afforded in the long term to major structures with design lives of 75–100 years is uncertain
