摘要: |
A new 2.9 km oval test track in western Nevada is part of a Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) study of hot-mix asphalt (HMA) paving materials and construction. The construction and 2-year truck loading of WesTrack should produce improved tools for specifying high-quality HMA construction and for predicting the short- and long-term performance of HMA pavements. This article describes the track and the experiment, loading, and data collection. Performance data from WesTrack are expected to verify the Superpave performance-prediction models and mixture analysis systems developed by the Strategic Highway Research Program. A secondary goal of the WesTrack project is to take advantage of data being developed by cooperating with other research programs. |
