Description
Summary:Since 2001, Texas has been designed and constructed 10 sections of perpetual pavement (PP) on heavily trafficked highways. With the oldest section having a service life of over 14 years, there is an opportunity to review the existing PP design and construction practices with a view of enhancing the design procedures and recommending the best construction practices for cost effectiveness. A critical review of field performance is warranted with recommendations on how to make these pavements cost competitive with both conventional 20 years flexible pavements and rigid concrete pavements.
