Abstract:The Office of Infrastructure Research and Development (R&D) conducts and administers infrastructure R&D programs and projects for the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) that address problems of national priority within the U.S. highway system. This work directly supports the goals and mission of the U.S. Department of Transportation, the FHWA Strategic Plan, and the 2011 FHWA Infrastructure Research and Technology (R&T) Strategic Plan.(1,2)
The Office of Infrastructure R&D approaches its mission with emphasis on strong stakeholder involvement and an interdisciplinary approach founded on recognition of the following: Pavements and bridges are integral and interrelated components of a highway system and do not function as distinct elements; Although the fundamental structure and components of pavements and bridges are distinct, some research and development needs are common to both; and, Only by using all facilities and assets available within FHWA’s Office of Infrastructure R&D and working collaboratively with counterparts in other FHWA offices and with stakeholders throughout the highway community will highway needs and issues be effectively addressed.
