| Abstract | This report discusses why the Long Term Pavement Performance (LTPP) program is still important today; what the current investment in LTPP is; what the value of this investment is; the benefits of LTPP to date; falling weight deflectometer (FWD) calibration procedures; the 1998 rigid pavement design procedure and spreadsheet; LTPPBind (a software tool that allows engineers to accurately select the correct Superpave asphalt binder for their specific regional conditions); pothole patching; LTPP studies; benefits that LTPP will yield in the next couple of years; whether future investment is needed; and why LTPP investment should be made. |
