Background Information

The GPS has the following eight experiments defined by the type of pavement structure.

  1. Experiment, Pavement Structure
  2. AC Pavement with Granular Base (AC/AGG)
  3. AC Pavement with Bound Base (AC/BND)
  4. Jointed Plain Concrete Pavement (JPCP)
  5. Jointed Reinforced Concrete Pavement (JRCP)
  6. Continuously Reinforced Concrete Pavement (CRCP)
  7. AC Overlay of AC Pavement (AC/AC)
  8. AC Overlay of PCC Pavement (AC/PCC)
  9. Unbonded PCC Overlay of PCC Pavement (PCC/PCC)
The AC overlay experiments GPS 6 and GPS 7 have subclassifications to indicate if the overlay existed prior to LTPP monitoring and the type of overlay materials and pre-overlay treatments. The FWD test plan and pattern is the same for all of these subclassifications.
