| Abstract | The Federal Highway Administration's (FHWA's) Long-Term Pavement Performance (LTPP) program originally developed the software program LTPPBind to help highway agencies select the most suitable and cost-effective Superpave asphalt binder performance grade for a particular site. LTPPBind determines both high and low pavement temperatures for a given project location. Normally, temperatures from LTPPBind are used to determine the grade classification of asphalt cement used for asphalt concrete paving. Sealant manufacturers quickly realized that crack-sealing materials in any given climate would be exposed to and would need to function within the same pavement temperatures that LTPPBind identifies. LTPPBind, therefore, can help highway agencies select the appropriate crack-sealing materials and procedures for different climates and conditions. Using LTPPBind to design and select crack-sealing treatments will help improve pavement performance, ensure longer-lasting treatments, reduce repairs, and decrease life-cycle costs. |
