Accelerated Pavement Testing has become an important part of pavement research and validation of pavement and materials design concepts worldwide. In 1990, the Texas Department of Transportation undertook the design and construction of the Texas Mobile Load Simulator (TxMLS). TxMLS has the capability of applying a large number of uniform load applications to a pavement section, either normal field sections, or specially constructed test sections. In 2000, TxDOT elected to develop a permanent test site for the TxMLS to be designated the Texas Accelerated Pavement Test Center (TxAPT). This report outlines the first year of operation of the TxAPT Center. |
