This book was released on 2003 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Long-Term Pavement Performance (LTPP) Seasonal Monitoring program (SMP) instrumentation was installed in pavement sections at the Ohio SHRP Test Road. The pavements are monitored for the seasonal variations of moisture, temperature and frost penetration. Data from the instrumentation is subjected to quality checks and prepared for uploading to the FHWA Information Management System (IMS). Findings from the testing are to be incorporated into future pavement design procedures.
