• Abstract:
  As part of its support for the Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP), the Ohio Department of Transportation, ; in conjunction with the Federal Highway Administration constructed a comprehensive test road encompassing four ; of nine experiments in the Specific Pavement Studies (SPS) of SHRP. The 3.4 mile long project is located on US 23 ; in Delaware County. The Ohio/SHRP test road is a four lane divided highway constructed in the 170 foot wide ; median of the existing facility. The new southbound lanes were constructed of asphalt concrete (AC) and contain ; the SPS-1 and SPS-9 experiment. The new northbound lanes were constructed using Portland cement concrete ; (PCC) and contain the SPS-2 experiment. Once ODOT decided to participate in the SHRP, staff engineers viewed ; this as an opportunity to obtain pavement response data for validating and calibrating pavement analysis models. ; After review of the experimental design of the SHRP sections, thirty three of the forty original sections were chosen ; for environmental and dynamic load response instrumentation using a total of 1296 gages for measuring strain, ; deflection, pressure, moisture, temperature, and frost depth. Research was needed to calibrate, install, and to ; measure pavement response during controlled loading, moisture and temperature in the pavement structure, and ; climatic conditions above the pavement. Due to the large number of gages being installed, the effort was divided ; among six universities. The University of Cincinnati was one of two universities responsible for the calibration and ; installation of dynamic response instrumentation.
