• Abstract:
  This report, one of a series stemming from the Research Project, "Application of the AASHO Road Test Results to Texas Conditions," was written to satisfy, at least in part, the following objectives quoted from the Project Proposal: l. In general, to correlate the average level of pavement performance determined from a two-year controlled traffic test (the AASHO Road Test) with performance of Texas pavements under normal mixed traffic, and to study the effect of weather and the so-called regional effect throughout the state. 2. For flexible pavements in Texas, to determine approximate values (or a range of values) of coefficients for representing Texas materials to replace the layer coefficients determined at the AASHO Road Test for the materials used there, and to develop relationships between these coefficients and materials tests.
