Abstract:

This report documents a cooperative effort to gather and make available information about flexible pavements which have been identified by the Texas Department of Transportation as superior performers compared to similar pavement structures carrying similar traffic loads. Analyses of available construction records for these pavements and the results of pavement testing performed during this project are provided. A web site was created to store and make available information about successful flexible pavements and also to allow online nomination of additional pavements into the database by field personnel.
