Abstract:

In 2006, CDOT initiated development of a specification for aggregates used in truck arrester beds. First, it was necessary to know what was currently in the arrester beds throughout the state. Each bed needed to be evaluated for safety, performance, and maintenance needs. This study evaluated the condition of 13 arrester beds throughout Colorado. Based on the performance of those arrester beds and the evaluation of materials recommended by other agencies, a specification for truck ramp aggregate was written and approved.
