Researchers with the Texas A&M Transportation Institute (TTI) have combined their expertise to author Modeling and Design of Flexible Pavements and Materials, a first-of-its-kind book with the potential to transform the way pavements are installed. The approach emphasizes the use of computational modeling to create longer-lasting, less-costly pavements. The authors will share their methodologies and […]

Texas Cities, Counties Invest in New Pavements Developed by TTI
Thin pavements expected to last longer, save money If thin is in, then the new pavements being developed by researchers at the Texas A&M Transportation Institute (TTI) and the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) are all that, and then some. Instead of the traditional two-inch overlays that are typical for road rehabilitation, TTI researchers have […]
TTI Pavement Testing Technology Voted SHRP2 Top Ranked Implementation Product
A recent state survey conducted by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) of all the products developed under the Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP2) ranked a project conducted by the Texas A&M Transportation Institute’s (TTI) Flexible Pavements Program as its highest ranked for implementation. The project was led by Senior Research […]
Preserving Lessons from the Field
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 Texas Transportation Institute (TTI) recently conducted a research project to establish a process for TxDOT to use to learn from Texas […]
