Federal Highway AdministrationUnited States. Federal Highway AdministrationTurner-Fairbank Highway Research CenterFederal Highway AdministrationThe Long-Term Pavement Performance (LTPP) program established in 1987, is a comprehensive 20-year study of in-service pavements using a series of rigorous long-term field experiments to monitor more than 2,400 asphalt and portland cement concrete (PCC) pavement test sections across the United States and Canada. This document highlights some key findings from LTPP analysis studies completed between 2000 and 2003. The goal of this report is to provide LTPP partners with information that can help them in their efforts to design, build, and maintain cost-effective and long-lasting pavements, by providing sections on: site conditions, structural features, material characterization, initial roughness, pavement maintenance, pavement rehabilitation, and local calibration of the 2002 Pavement Design Guide.78
