Project description

The research team will work with a minimum of three (3) Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) Districts to conduct demonstration projects with performance monitoring. The research team will apply the accelerated mix design procedure to real pavement designs, encouraging utilization of the new test procedure, enabling the identification of potential areas of improvement, and demonstrating the mechanistic design check. The research team will conduct initial performance monitoring on the constructed projects. This monitoring aims to assess the effectiveness of the accelerated design, validate the stability of the designed pavement by evaluating pavement conditions and enhance the estimated resilience modulus.
