Abstract:

This research project was performed in two phases. The first phase concentrated on previous ; related literature review and a nationwide survey to find out the current practices of smoothness ; specifications. The second phase dealt with collecting and analyzing yearly roughness data for ; asphalt and concrete sections in IRI unit from the long-term pavement performance (LTPP) ; database and evaluating the effect of initial roughness on the long-term performance of pavements. ; Some important conclusions from the previous related research and the present practices of ; roughness measurements are summarized in chapter II. Also, the current practices of Datapave ; software use are mentioned. Chapter III summarizes the findings of a nation-wide survey on ; pavement smoothness policies. Chapter IV outlines the design of the experiment for this research ; project. In Chapter V, different statistical analyses were performed on the data set to evaluate the ; effect of initial roughness on future roughness. Finally, a summary of the entire research, ; conclusions, and recommendations for future research are presented in Chapter VI.
