This project, conducted in the 1990’s, evaluated the performance of 303 concrete pavement sections located throughout North America. An extensive field testing program, consisting of pavement condition surveys, drainage surveys, falling weight deflectometer (FWD) testing, coring/boring operations, and roughness testing, was conducted in order to collect the information needed for analysis. Over one-third of the sections was evaluated under a preceding FHWA study, meaning that 5-year performance trends are available for some of the sections. Additional pavement performance data are also available for 96 European concrete pavement sections and for 21 Chilean concrete pavement sections. The goal of this study was to improve future concrete pavement design and construction practices. It is included in the non-LTPP data section of InfoPave because of the project’s significance to the understanding of pavement performance.

The contents include the data that was collected for the project and a library of project reports. This includes a summary of the field investigations, the evaluation of the test sections, and pavement performance prediction models that were developed from the data collected under this study. It also includes appendices that includes supporting documentation for the research study.
