Abstract:

The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) has developed a Mobile Load Simulator (MLS), which has been operating on Texas’ highways for the past several years (see web site http://www.utexas.edu/research/ctr/mls/ for background information). This device is used for rapidly testing pavements to estimate their performance. The device was designed to run on in-service roads throughout the State, however, there are a number of limitations in using the equipment on existing highways. As a result, TxDOT has contracted with The University of Texas, Center for Transportation Research (CTR) to operate the MLS at a five-year pavement test facility located at the J.J. Pickle Research Campus (PRC). This Workplan outlines the site development of the Texas Accelerated Pavement Test Center (TxAPT) at PRC and provides a step-by-step process for preparing the test facility.
