• Abstract:
  As part of the Long Term Pavement Performance (LTPP) Program, Arizona Department of Transportation ; (ADOT) constructed 21 Specific Pavement Studies 2 (SPS-2) test sections on Interstate 10 near Buckeye, ; Arizona, to study a variety of structural sections in new portland cement concrete construction. Opened to ; traffic in 1994, this project is actively being monitored at regular intervals. Surface distress, profile, and ; deflection data collected throughout the life of the pavement were used to evaluate the performance of ; various rigid pavement design features, layer configurations, and thickness. This report documents the ; analyses conducted as well as practical findings and lessons learned that will be of interest to ADOT.
