Find Sections

Find Sections (a.k.a. Section Filters) provides filter criteria to narrow down the selection of LTPP test sections. Users can apply filters from multiple classifications at their discretion. Selected Section Count is updated in real-time as the user applies filters.

LTPP Jointed Concrete Pavement Data for MEPDG Local Calibration

LTPP Jointed Concrete Pavement PMED Calibration

The LTPP Jointed Concrete Pavement PMED Calibration feature is designed to provide the performance data and inputs from the LTPP database for the AASHTOWare Pavement ME Design (PMED) software. This will allow the user to run comparisons of model predictions against the actual performance data from LTPP test sections. In addition, users can implement the actual performance data from corresponding LTPP sections in order to calibrate AASHTOWare PMED distress models to the local conditions. The initial step in the design of this feature is to show a proof of concept for LTPP GPS-3 and SPS-2 JPCP sections.

There are 2581 of 2581 sections currently selected.

Traffic

Initial AADTT	View	MEPDG_TRUCK_VOL_PARAMETERS	AADTT_FIRST_YEAR_LTPP_LANE, TRAFFIC_OPEN_YEAR_EXP_NO, GPS_SPS, EXPERIMENT_NO	Only information applying to time in the GPS-3 or SPS-2 experiment is displayed.
Number of lanes in design direction	1	See Notes		Since tables MEPDG_TRUCK_VOL_PARAMETERS, MEPDG_AXLE_PER_TRUCK and MEPDG_AXLE_LOAD_DIST_FACTOR contain information on the number of trucks in the LTPP lane, no adjustments for two-way traffic or lane distribution are required. The adjustment factors are set to 1, or 100% as appropriate.
Percent of trucks in design direction (%)	100	See Notes
Percent of trucks in design lane (%)	100	See Notes
Vehicle Class distribution and growth factor	View	MEPDG_TRUCK_VOL_PARAMETERS	Vehicle_Class, Veh_Class_Growth_Rate, Veh_Class_Growth_Function	The distribution percentage is applied to the first year’s data.
Operational speed (mph)	Use Default			Use AASHTOWare Pavement ME default
Axles per truck	View	MEPDG_AXLE_PER_TRUCK	All fields
Axle distribution	View	MEPDG_AXLE_LOAD_DIST_FACTOR	All fields

Climate

Latitude (degrees.minutes)	SECTION_COORDINATES	LATITUDE	The virtual weather station can be obtained for the LTPP section location by interpolation from the nearby weather stations.
Longitude (degrees.minutes)	SECTION_COORDINATES	LONGITUDE
Elevation (ft)	INV_ID, SPS_ID	ELEVATION
Depth of water table (ft)	SMP_WATERTAB_DEPTH_MAN	WATERTAB_DEPTH	Water table depth collected as a part of Seasonal Monitoring Program (SMP) is provided for those LTPP sections. The depth of water table is assigned based on experience and better guidelines is required for this input.

Structure (Design Features)

Joint spacing (ft)		INV_PCC_JOINT or SPS2_PCC_JOINT_DATA	AVG_CONTRACTION_ SPACING	The Inventory table contains information provided during the nomination process or when section is included in the LTPP program. The average joint spacing computed using the POINT_LOC field in the MON_DIS_JPCC_FAULT table is provided for verification purpose.
Joint spacing (ft)		MON_DIS_JPCC_FAULT	POINT_LOC and CRACK_OR_JOINT
Sealant type		INV_PCC_JOINT or SPS2_PCC_JOINT_DATA	TRANSVERSE_SEAL_TYPE	The sealant type and determination of whether a joint was sealed was captured in the inventory tables at the time the section was nominated or included in the LTPP program. However, some sections where maintenance was performed, MNT_PCC_JOINT_RESEAL table in the JOINT_SEAL_TYPE table information is also provided.
Sealant type		MNT_PCC_JOINT_RESEAL	JOINT_SEAL_TYPE
Dowel diameter (in)		INV_PCC_JOINT or SPS2_PCC_JOINT_DATA	ROUND_DOWEL_DIAMETER
Edge support		INV_SHOULDER or SPS_GENERAL	SH_SURFACE_TYPE, SH_SURFACE_TYPE_ OTHER, I_SH_SURFACE_TYPE, I_SH_SURFACE_TYPE_ OTHER, O_SH_SURFACE_TYPE, O_SH_SURFACE_TYPE_ OTHER	No edge support option for AC shoulder type
Base type		TST_L05B	LAYER_TYPE (below LAYER_TYPE=PC)	LAYER_TYPE =GB (Granular Base), LAYER_TYPE =GS (Granular Subbase), LAYER_TYPE =TB (Treated (Bound) Base), LAYER_TYPE =TS (Treated (Bound) Subbase)
Loss of full friction (age in months)	Use Default			Use AASHTOWare Pavement ME default
Surface shortwave absorptivity	Use Default			Use AASHTOWare Pavement ME default
