Strategic Objective 3: Determination of environmental effects in pavement design and performance prediction.

The following boxes are Analysis Outcomes for Objective 3. To see specific analysis projects for each Outcome, click on the corresponding box.

Blue Box: A. Impact of temperature and moisture variations (independent of frost penetration) on pavement performance. VH1 (Very high priority, number 1 in sequence).

Blue Box: B. Impact of freeze-thaw cycles on pavement performance. VH1 (Very high priority, number 1 in sequence).

Green Box: C. Long-term changes in pavement characteristics due to environment effects and aging. H1 (High priority, number 1 in sequence).

Blue Box: D. Recommendations for climate data collection to adequately predict pavement performance. VH2 (Very high priority, number 2 in sequence).

Green Box: E. Region Specific guidelines for considering environmental and load effects. H2 (High priority, number 2 in sequence).

Priorities

Critical = color-coded red box for critical priority
Very High = color-coded blue box for very high priority
High = color-coded green box for high priority
Sequence = number-coded boxes 1, 2, or 3 in sequence

Note: Sequence numbers denote the order in which Analysis Outcomes should be addressed for a given Objective. Analysis Outcomes with the same sequence number can be addressed at the same time.
