The Experimental Products Evaluation Program (EPEP) is an ongoing program established the Office of Research to provide The Oklahoma Department of Transportation (ODOT) with a means of evaluating, monitoring, and implementing the use of new experiments.
Use of high-performance concrete has tremendous potential for improving economy and long-term durability of structures. The State of Oklahoma has an abundance of high-quality aggregates that are necessary for the production of high strength/high performance.
A comprehensive study involving laboratory testing of resilient moduli (MR) of aggregate materials, determination of layer coefficients, and their application in AASHTO flexible pavement design was conducted.
This publication consists of a listing of experimental products that are being or have been evaluated by the Oklahoma Department of Transportation (ODOT) or other transportation agencies.
The Oklahoma Department of Transportation (ODOT) recently completed a project that included a Strengthened Earth Wall. The Mechanically Stabilized Earth (MSE) wall was constructed by Muskogee Bridge Company as a part of project IM-NHIY-44-2(349)231 on I-4.
