Abstract:The following report documents a research project on pavement preservation performed by the Missouri University of Science and
Technology (Missouri S&T) and the University of Missouri-Columbia (UMC) on behalf of the Missouri Department of
Transportation (MoDOT). The report is in seven separate volumes consisting of a Summary Report followed by six detailed
technical reports. To achieve the goal of reducing maintenance costs and improving minor road ratings, MoDOT has embarked
upon a plan of formalizing its maintenance/preservation planning. To assist in developing the plan, MoDOT contracted with
Missouri S&T and UMC to conduct a research project, entitled “MoDOT Pavement Preservation Research Program.” The product
of this research would become a part of MoDOT’s overall Pavement Management System (PMS). The overall objective of the
research was to provide a process that would allow MoDOT to do more selective planning, better engineering and more effective
maintenance to minimize costs while maintaining adequate safety and performance of Missouri’s pavements. Six Guidance
Documents were created which will act as guidelines for MoDOT’s Pavement Specialists and Pavement Engineers. The work was
divided into six tasks, each with its own research (Task) team. The focus of the research was on preservation strategies applied to
minor routes.
