• Abstract:
  This document provides description of the rigid pavement database (called RPDB in this document) developed under TxDOT Research Project 0-5445. This document also provides a breakdown of the various components of the RPDB, including the database contents, managing and storing the data, developing a user-interactive web-application for enabling access to the database within a network, and accessing the data from the web-application. This document provides the end users and administrators with instructions to effectively manage, update, and retrieve the data from the RPDB using the tools within the web-application. In this sense, this document constitutes a user’s manual for RPDB. The RPDB might undergo certain modifications as further research efforts identify important information that needs to be included for the proper evaluation of portland cement concrete (PCC) pavement. For example, in the mechanistic-empirical pavement design guide (MEPDG), transverse crack spacing and load transfer efficiency (LTE) at transverse cracks in continuously reinforced concrete pavement (CRCP) are currently considered important variables in predicting CRCP performance.
