Abstract:This report presents the framework for a generic process to evaluate new products and/or strategies for possible use within Caltrans. The framework is the result of a collaborative effort among Caltrans, the University of California Partnered Pavement Research Center (UC PPRC) and MACTEC.
The generic experimental design process is applicable to all pavement types as well as the component materials of pavements. The framework includes various types of studies that may be used in the evaluation process ― laboratory, accelerated pavement testing (APT) and field pilot studies. Additionally, it identifies other factors that must be considered in the evaluation of any new product/strategy: economic viability and environmental impact. The generic experimental design process outlined herein is considered appropriate for Caltrans operating units such as METS, Research, Maintenance and others who may be involved with evaluating paving materials.
