Abstract:Since 1996, the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (LADOTD) has
utilized the Louisiana Transportation and Research Center‘s (LTRC’s) Accelerated Loading
Facility (ALF) at the Pavement Research Facility to determine the effectiveness of innovative
pavement technologies in an environment closely resembling actual in-service field conditions.
However, the seasonal variation of measured pavement responses with temperature and its
relationship to predicted performance has not been thoroughly evaluated in past ALF
experiments. Such information may be used to improve instrumentation strategies in future ALF
experiments and to determine the evolution of damage with an increase in the number of
repetitions. Results of past ALF experiments may also be used to link laboratory measured
properties of asphalt binders to the measured performance of hot mix asphalt (HMA). Such a
link may be used to update current binder standards by specifying measurements of properties
that are indicative of pavement performance.
