Quarterly Technical Progress Reports
The Quarterly Report is grouped into seven areas, Moisture Damage, Fatigue, Engineered Paving Materials, Vehicle-Pavement Interaction, Validation, Technology Development, and Technology Transfer. The format of the report is based upon the Research Work Plan and is grouped by Work Element and Subtask. The Moisture Damage and Fatigue areas report on Work Elements and Subtasks that are interrelated and thus work together to advance the knowledge of mechanisms and models in these areas.
The research areas of Engineered Paving Materials, Vehicle-Pavement Interaction, and Validation generally report work elements that are more “stand-alone” in nature but this doesn’t mean that these work elements operate independently because in most cases, at least two Consortium partners are teaming to conduct the work. These work elements also provide useful information to the other research activities in the Consortium.
Finally, the areas of Technology Development and Technology Transfer report where the
research deliverables have been transmitted to the user community. The Technology
Development area reports the progress to take promising research developments and refine them
into useful tools for engineers and technologists involved in the design, construction, and
maintenance of flexible pavement systems. The Technology Transfer area reports on the transfer
of Consortium research findings to the asphalt community using the Consortium website, presentations, publications, and workshops.
