• Abstract:
  The Nebraska Department of Roads (NDOR) conducts an annual examination of pavement conditions on Nebraska’s interstate and federal highway system. During these examinations, indicators of pavement quality are measured directly or compiled from parameters recorded by a vehicle passing over the pavement sections. A number of pavement sections where experimental methods and/or materials have been incorporated were selected by the NDOR for comparison to nearby conventional pavement sections. This study used data recorded by the NDOR as well as field observations to compare two similar pavement sections, one which incorporated experimental methods and/or materials during construction and the second of more conventional design. Pavement quality indicators measured and compared include Nebraska Serviceability Index, International Roughness Index, Present Serviceability Index, rutting, faulting, and cracking. Indicators were evaluated with regard to whether experimental strategies were beneficial or detrimental to pavement quality during the lifespan of each pavement section.
