Abstract:

It is commonly said that we learn the most from our mistakes and failures. The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) has taken great efforts over the years to learn from pavements not performing as well as expected. But it is also possible to learn much from successes. The purpose of this research project was to establish and begin a process for TxDOT to learn from Texas flexible pavements that have performed notably beyond expectations. The processs to be developed was to include a database where information about these pavements could be stored, searched, and downloaded through a web site interface.
