Abstract:

The materials used within the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) are undergoing a period of change. The purpose of this report is to develop the information necessary to develop (for TxDOT) a method or a database for monitoring the performance of transportation materials. This report builds a foundation based on information obtained from an expert working group meeting, from a state-of-the-art literature review, and from an analysis of TxDOT's current computing and testing programs. Upon this foundation, the researchers have built a scope and methodology for identifying data elements for inclusion in the database. Furthermore, a sample prioritization of data elements is performed. The report also discusses a conceptual framework for the proposed database. Finally, conclusions are summarized and future research directions are explored.
