Title:

Large Scale Cyclic Pavement Testing Facility

Value Proposition:

• Provides reliable data for designing long-life pavements.
• Enables testing of new materials, overlays, and innovative mixes before field implementation.
• Reduces risk and cost of large-scale pavement failures.
• Supports research for highways, airports, and heavy-duty pavements.

Summary Application:

Evaluation of asphalt, concrete, and composite pavements. Testing of innovative materials like SMA, RAP, and fiber-reinforced mixes. Pavement rehabilitation planning and design verification.
Research on climate and load effects on pavement durability.

Advantages:

• Full-scale testing under controlled traffic and environmental conditions.
• Captures fatigue, rutting, and deformation characteristics accurately.
• Supports optimization of mix design and structural layers.
• Accelerates development and validation of new pavement technologies.
