Rehabilitation activities are those that significantly affect the pavement structure and how it responds to the environment and traffic loading. These activities should be avoided within the maintenance control zone identified in chapter 1 during the time period for which the test section is being monitored. With time, however, many of the test sections will require some repair work to be performed.
Monitoring of a test section in the LTPP program after rehabilitation is performed will be continued provided certain conditions are met.
Test sections that undergo reconstruction will not be retained by the LTPP program for further monitoring. The LTPP program should be notified sufficiently in advance of reconstruction so that a final round of monitoring measurements can be performed.
Highway agency responsibilities include:
LTPP program responsibilities include:
As noted in section 1.1.1, treatments within the maintenance control zone around and including each section or project should be limited as much as possible. However, it is expected that during the study period some of the test sections will require some maintenance or rehabilitation treatment. The general categories of rehabilitation treatments that are acceptable for continued monitoring by the LTPP program are shown in table 3. Treatments applied to LTPP test sections that are not described in table 3 or activities described under the unsuitable treatments portion of this document are unacceptable for continuation in the LTPP program. For any test section undergoing rehabilitation, it is necessary for the RSC to submit an IMS Form 1 and Rehabilitation Information Form RI– as described in chapter 2. If the section is acceptable for continued monitoring, Rehabilitation Information Form RI— is also necessary.

The following definitions relate to the items shown in table 3.
AC—Dense-graded hot-mix asphalt-aggregate concrete using either conventional or modified asphalt cement. Mixtures designed in accordance with current guidelines are acceptable. Thickness restriction applies to the material in excess of that which is used to replace portions of the milled pavement structure. The thickness restriction does not apply to thin seal coats or open graded friction courses that may be required by agency policy.
PCC—Portland cement concrete pavement layers. PCC pavement layers must be jointed plain concrete pavement (JPCP), jointed reinforced concrete pavement (JRCP), or continuously reinforced concrete pavement (CRCP). JPCP layers must have either no load transfer devices or smooth dowel bars only. JRCP layers must contain smooth dowel bars for joint load transfer. Unbonded PCC layers must be greater than 127 mm (5 inches) thick (GPS–9 requirement).
CPR—Concrete pavement restoration. Allowable CPR techniques include partial depth patching, full-depth patching and joint replacement, load transfer restoration, full-surface diamond grinding, undersealing or subsealing, and retrofitted edge drains. The distinction between a classification as CPR and a classification as maintenance activity depends on the extent and nature of the applied treatments.
Debond Interlayer—An interlayer of material placed between the original PCC surface and PCC overlay to prevent bonding. Examples include stress-absorbing membrane interlayer (SAMI), asphalt-rubber seal coat, sand asphalt, and aggregate interlayer.
Milling—Cold milling of the AC structural layers. The milling depth must be less than half the total thickness of the existing AC structural layers.
Fracture—Fracture pretreatments to PCC pavements include crack and seat, break and seat, and rubblization.
Any of the following treatments or construction activities applied to an existing test section will render the section unsuitable for continued monitoring as part of the LTPP pavement rehabilitation studies:
When one or more of the above conditions apply, or the agency does not want to participate in the continued monitoring of a test section after rehabilitation, the LTPP RSC should be contacted so that final monitoring measurements can be performed before the test section goes out-of-study.
To provide greater consistency among the pavement structures studied in the LTPP program, use of any combination of the following treatments and specifications is desired. These specifications are based on LTPP construction guidelines for the SPS rehabilitation experiments. Although conformance with these preferred specifications is not required, their use can help to extend the results of the related LTPP experiments.
When AC pavement studies included in certain LTPP experiments (GPS–, —, –6; or SPS–, –3, –5, –8, or –9) are rehabilitated, it is preferred that materials and construction procedures conform to SPS–5 construction guidelines. All AC mixes should be designed in accordance with FHWA Technical Advisory T5040.27 (Asphalt Concrete Mix Design and Field Control, March 10, 1988), and milling should be limited to less than one-third of the total combined thickness of the bound AC structural surface layers. It is preferred that the AC be composed of all new material conforming to specifications in the SPS–5 construction guidelines; however, if the AC mix contains recycled AC materials, the recycled mixture should conform to applicable specifications in the SPS–5 construction guidelines. Overlay thicknesses of 51 mm (2 inches) or 127 mm (5 inches) should be placed. This thickness is in addition to any material that was used to replace portions of the pavement structure that were milled.
When rehabilitation is performed on PCC pavements included in the LTPP GPS–3, –4, or –5 experiments or the SPS—, –4 or –8 experiments, it is preferred that the materials and construction procedures conform to the SPS–6 construction guidelines. Some of the specifications contained in the SPS–6 construction guidelines and other preferred practices include:
Joint and/or crack sealing prior to placement of an AC overlay is not desired. AC overlays are the preferred rehabilitation treatment for LTPP PCC test sections only because the majority of rehabilitated PCC pavements in the program have this type of overlay. It is preferred that AC overlay mixes be designed in accordance with FHWA Technical Advisory T5040.27 and be composed of all new material; and that the thicknesses of the AC overlay be either 102 mm (4 inches) or 203 mm (8 inches). (These are the same thicknesses used in the SPS–6 experiment.) If sawing and sealing of the AC overlay at joint and working crack locations in the PCC pavement are performed, it is preferred that the procedures and specifications contained in the SPS–6 construction guidelines be followed.
A prescribed set of treatments for each test section was established by the LTPP program in 1992. It is preferred that these treatments be followed to extend the results of this experiment. All construction activities and materials used to rehabilitate existing SPS–6 test sections should conform to the specifications contained in the SPS–6 construction guidelines.
Routine Maintenance Section. This test section should be rehabilitated using the applicable SPS–6 intensive restoration techniques and overlaid with a 102-mm- (4-inch-) thick AC overlay. It is desired that the materials used in the AC mixture be reasonably similar to those used in the original overlay mixtures for the other SPS–6 test sections at the site.
Minimum Restoration Sections. SPS–6 test sections 2, 3, and 4 should be rehabilitated using the applicable SPS–6 intensive restoration techniques for the PCC layer and overlaid with a 102-mm- (4-inch-) thick AC overlay. It is desired that the materials used in the AC mixture be reasonably similar to those used in the original overlay mixtures for the other SPS–6 test sections at the site. On section 2 (the minimum restoration section without overlay), the entire 305-m (1000-ft) length of the test section should be overlaid and established as the new test section. On sections 3 and 4, the existing AC overlay layer should be completely removed before applying restoration treatments and placing the new overlay.
Intensive Restoration Test Sections. SPS–6 test sections 5 and 6 should be rehabilitated by using applicable SPS–6 intensive restoration techniques on the PCC layer and overlaid with a 102-mm- (4-inch-) thick AC overlay. It is desired that the materials used in the AC mixture be reasonably similar to those used in the original overlay mixtures for the other SPS–6 test sections at the site. On section 5 (maximum restoration without overlay), the entire 305-m (1000-ft) length of the test section should be overlaid and established as the new test section. On section 6, the existing AC overlay layer should be completely removed before applying restoration treatments and placing the new overlay.
Crack/Break and Seat Sections. SPS–6 test sections 7 and 8 should be rehabilitated by using applicable SPS–5 intensive surface preparation techniques and a 51-mm- (2-inch-) thick AC overlay. The 51-mm (2-inch) overlay thickness is in addition to the amount of material used to replace any portion of the existing AC overlay layer that was milled.
When LTPP test sections are rehabilitated in accordance with current LTPP policy, they will be classified into one of the GPS experiments as defined in this document.
The following suffixes are used for rehabilitated test sections classified as GPS–6 or GPS–7 experiments:
Suffix A—Designates pavement structures that have been rehabilitated with a single AC overlay before the start of the LTPP program and monitoring. The overlay must consist of conventional hot-mix asphalt with no modifiers and no structural milling or modifications performed before overlay placement. (No new test sections will be accepted in this classification.)
Suffix B—Designates pavement structures receiving a first AC overlay using conventional HMAC with no modifiers and no structural milling or modifications. The condition of the pavement before overlay was monitored by the LTPP program.
Suffix C—Designates pavements receiving an overlay (any number) that uses modified asphalts (including hot-recycled, rubberized-wet process, and asphalt additives) in the HMAC without any structural milling or modification. The condition of the pavement prior to overlay was monitored by the LTPP program.
Suffix D—Designates a previously overlaid pavement that receives another AC overlay using conventional HMAC with no modifiers and no structural milling or modifications. The condition of the pavement prior to overlay was monitored by the LTPP program.
Suffix F—Designates an existing PCC pavement structure that has been subjected to a crack and seat or break and seat treatment in combination with placement of any type of HMAC overlay.
Suffix R—Designates an existing PCC pavement structure that has been rehabilitated by CPR treatments without application of an overlay.
Suffix S—Designates pavement structures in which the existing AC structural layer is modified by structural milling or application of fabric, etc., in combination with placement of any type of HMAC overlay.
The terms structural milling and asphalt modifiers are defined as:
Structural Milling—For test section classification purposes, structural milling is considered to be cold milling of AC greater than 25.4 mm (1 inch) in depth. Milling depths less than 25.4 mm (1 inch), for purposes of rut level-up or to remove weathered AC from the surface, are not considered structural milling.
Asphalt Modifiers—Asphalt modifiers are materials used to alter the properties of the asphalt cement or asphalt mixture, such as polymers, crumb rubber, sulfur, and glass.
When an agreement between the participating highway agency and LTPP program has been reached to continue monitoring a rehabilitated test section, the rehabilitated pavement structure should be classified in accordance with the experimental designation shown in table 4. Details of these classifications are provided below based on the test section's current LTPP classification and pavement structure type.

Existing test sections in this category are either new construction or reconstructed AC pavement structures in their first performance cycle that have not previously been rehabilitated. This includes test sections in the SPS–8 experiment that are constructed with an AC surface layer and SPS–9 test sections that are either newly constructed or reconstructed at the start of the LTPP monitoring period.
Test sections rehabilitated with conventional HMAC overlay with no structural milling or modifications will be classified in GPS–6B. Test sections rehabilitated with HMAC overlay containing asphalt modifiers with no structural milling or modifications will be classified in GPS–6C. Test sections rehabilitated with structural milling or use of geotextile and subsequent placement of a conventional or modified HMAC overlay will be classified in GPS–6S. GPS– or GPS— test section rehabilitated with a PCC overlay will be classified into the new PCC pavement GPS experiments depending on the type of overlay:
Jointed plain concrete overlay | GPS–3 |
Jointed reinforced concrete overlay | GPS–4 |
Continuously reinforced concrete overlay | GPS–5 |
Existing test sections in this category are either new construction or reconstructed PCC test sections that have not previously been rehabilitated with application of an overlay. This includes PCC test sections in the SPS–8 experiment.
Test sections rehabilitated with a conventional HMAC overlay and any combination of restoration treatments contained in the SPS–6 construction guidelines will be classified in GPS–7B.
Test sections rehabilitated with a HMAC overlay containing asphalt modifiers and any combination of restoration treatments contained in the SPS–6 construction guidelines will be classified in GPS–7C.
Test sections subjected to a fracture pretreatment, such as crack and seat, break and seat, or rubblization, in combination with placement of any type of HMAC overlay will be classified in GPS–7F.
Test sections rehabilitated by CPR treatments without application of an overlay will be classified in GPS–7R. The decision on classification of treatments into this category will depend on the extent and nature of the CPR treatments applied. In general, the applied treatments must exceed what might be considered routine maintenance to be classified as CPR.
Test sections in this category are AC pavement structures that have been previously rehabilitated with an AC overlay.
Test sections rehabilitated with a second conventional HMAC overlay with no structural milling or modifications will be classified in GPS–6D.
Test sections rehabilitated with a second HMAC overlay containing asphalt modifiers with no structural milling or modifications will be classified in GPS–6C.
Test sections rehabilitated with structural milling or use of geotextile and subsequent placement of a second overlay composed of conventional or modified HMAC will be classified in GPS–6S.
Test sections in this category are rehabilitated PCC pavement structures that have previously been overlaid with a layer of HMAC.
Test sections rehabilitated with a second conventional HMAC overlay with no structural milling or modifications will be classified in GPS–7D.
Test sections rehabilitated with a second HMAC overlay that contains asphalt modifiers with no structural milling or modifications will be classified in GPS–7C.
Test sections rehabilitated with structural milling or use of geotextile and subsequent placement of a second overlay composed of conventional or modified HMAC will be classified in GPS–7S.
Test sections rehabilitated by complete removal of the existing HMAC overlay, then application of crack and seat or break and seat treatment to the underlying PCC layer and placement of any type of HMAC overlay will be classified in GPS–7F.
Test sections rehabilitated by the application of an unbound PCC overlay will be classified in GPS–9.
GPS–9 test sections that are rehabilitated will not be considered for continued monitoring under the LTPP program.
The remainder of this chapter provides data sheets and instructions for their use in collecting rehabilitation data. The rehabilitation data sheets should be filled out as rehabilitation work is completed. These data sheets appear in numerical sequence at the end of this chapter.
The rehabilitation data collection includes two separate time periods: (1) historical data and (2) LTPP accumulated data.
Historical data consist of information collected on the monitoring site up to the time that site-specific rehabilitation data collection using LTPP guidelines begins. Historical data are recorded on sheet 4 of the inventory data sheets contained in the Inventory Data Collection Guide.
LTPP accumulated data are recorded on the rehabilitation data sheets provided in this chapter. The data sheets are presented in the order illustrated by table 5. Copies of the data sheets are included on pages 142 through 208.

For each specific work type, the appropriate set of sheets should be completed (as indexed in table 6). It is recognized that parts of both chapter 3 (Maintenance Data Collection) and chapter 4 (Rehabilitation Data Collection) may be required to adequately record a given set of improvements for a test section (for example, for a job with patching, joint and crack sealing, and overlay, sheets from both chapters 3 and 4 will be required).
The data sheets provide for a broad array of data elements. It is recognized that much of the data will not be available. However, available data should be entered and every effort should be made to obtain data indicated by an asterisk (*). When the data element is not applicable to or represents something that does not exist on the test section, enter an "N" to indicate that the data element is not applicable. If the data element is applicable, but the value is unknown (e.g., not available in project records), enter a "U" to indicate that the value is unknown. Many data items will require codes to be entered. Unless otherwise noted in the following instructions, the codes are listed or referenced on the data sheets.

1 Work Type Code from appendix A, table A.16.
2 Rehabilitation sheets 1 and 2 should be completed for every rehabilitated test section.
3 Data sheets 65–67 should be used in addition to sheets 3–0 when Superpave mix design procedures are used for the overlay.
4 Plus appropriate overlay rehabilitation sheets.
The data sheets also provide for collection of detailed information on variability of materials and layer thicknesses, as such variability is known to contribute heavily to pavement deterioration. It is recognized that replicate test data are often unavailable, so single test results should be entered in these cases and the mean and other values left blank. However, whenever possible, data on variability should be obtained.
A common set of project identification data appears in the upper right hand corner of every data sheet. These data items are described below.
State Code: The State code is a number used to identify the State or Canadian Province in which the pavement section is located (see appendix A, table A.1 for codes).
SHRP Section ID: The section ID is a four-digit identification number assigned by LTPP. This number is used to facilitate the computer filing of the projects and will identify the section in the field.
Date Completed: The month, day, and year that the pavement improvements were finished and the project was subsequently opened to traffic (not the date when the project was accepted). The first set of two digits represents the numerical sequence of the month as it occurs during the year; the second set of two digits represents the day of the month; and the four digits are the year.
The rehabilitation data sheets do not include detailed descriptions of the pavements prior to rehabilitation, but the "State Code," the "SHRP Section ID," and the "Date Completed" described above connect the rehabilitation data to the other data for the test section. For LTPP studies, the full range of data described in the Guidelines for Collection of LTPP Data should be available. As a minimum for other studies of effects of rehabilitation on pavement performance, inventory data sheets 1, 2, 3, and 4 should be filled out and appropriate traffic, environmental, and monitoring data collected.
On many of the rehabilitation data sheets, "other" codes are provided for use where a product or technique is used that is not specified. This reflects the realization that rehabilitation practices change and new materials become available, and that it will be necessary to record their use and performance. Therefore, where it is necessary to use an "other" code, sufficient information should be provided to identify what material or technique was used, and possibly the manufacturer or reference, if future study is required. As rehabilitation techniques are so varied, the data to be collected will also be varied. In many cases, existing layers will be removed and recycled or partially removed (say by cold milling). Rehabilitation by overlaying may not disturb the existing layers, but new layers must be described. Some techniques (such as adding pressure relief joints, subsealing, and load transfer restoration) modify the existing pavement without affecting the layer description data directly.
This data sheet is to be filled out each time improvements are made on a project. This does not include work such as bridges, culverts, lighting, etc.
Individual data elements are:
Date Completed (Item 1): The month, day, and year that the pavement improvements were finished and the project was subsequently opened to traffic (not the date when the project was accepted). The first set of two digits represents the numerical sequence of the month as it occurs during the year; the second set of two digits represents the day within the month; and the third set of two digits is the last two digits in the year.
Work Type Code (Item 2): A code to identify the type of maintenance work accomplished (appendix A, table A.16).
Work Quantity (Item 3): The quantity of work applied to the section in appropriate units (refer to appendix A, table A.16 for units).
Thickness (Item 4): For improvements that alter the thickness of the pavement structure (such as overlays, etc.), enter the thickness of the rehabilitation activity to the nearest tenth of an inch (0.1 inch) (2.5 mm). For items that do not alter the thickness of the pavement structure, enter "N" to indicate the data element is not applicable.
Cost (Item 5): The cost of the improvement is reported in thousands of dollars per lane-mile. The cost reported should include only the cost of the pavement structure. Nonpavement costs such as cut and fill work, work on bridges, culverts, lighting, and guardrails should be excluded. Labor, traffic control, or other incidental costs should also be excluded.
This data sheet is to be filled out to document the improved pavement structure each time improvements are made on a project. Include all layers of the structure, revised or otherwise. As all subsequent data sheets refer back to sheet 2, special care should be taken in completing it.
Individual data elements are:
Layer Number (Item 1): Space is provided for nine or fewer layer numbers, with number one as the subgrade, and the last and largest number identifying the surface layer.
Layer Description (Item 2): A layer description code is to be entered for each of the layers in the system. Codes are provided on the data form. For HMAC layers, separate lifts having the same mixture are not to be identified as separate layers. Where HMAC is used as a base for PCC pavements, it should be described by code 5.
Material Type Classification (Item 3): A code identifying the type of materials in each layer of the pavement structure, including the subgrade, should be entered for material type classification. Codes for surfacing materials, base and subbase materials, subgrade soils, and thin seals and interlayers are identified in appendix A, tables A.4, A.5, A.6, and A.7, respectively. If the material type was not changed during the rehabilitation, enter "99" for the material classification.
Layer Thickness (Item 4): Four numbers can be provided to indicate the mean, minimum, maximum, and standard deviation of thickness for each specific layer in inches. Enter to the nearest tenth of an inch (0.1 inch) (2.5 mm). If only a single specified design value for thickness is available for the project records, enter it as the "mean value." For LTPP, a number of boreholes will be made for sampling materials, so careful thickness measurements are to be made. The mean thickness will be verified or revised and variability information added as the result of these field measurements and measurements of cores in the laboratory. If the thickness of the layer has not changed during rehabilitation, leave the layer thickness blank for that layer.
This sheet and the following sheets 4 through 10 are to be filled out from project records for each AC overlay layer identified on sheet 2 that is thicker than 19 mm (0.75 inches). Detailed data for thinner layers (e.g., thin seal coats, porous friction treatments) should be entered on the sheets specified for those operations.
Although various SHAs discriminate between fine and coarse aggregates on the basis of different sieve sizes, the following definition is to be applied for LTPP studies. All aggregate retained on the No. 8 (2.36-mm) sieve is coarse aggregate as defined by the Asphalt Institute. All aggregate passing the No. 8 (2.36-mm) sieve is fine aggregate. "Mineral Filler" is defined (ASTM D242) as that portion passing the No. 30 (600-µm) sieve (at least 95 percent must pass the No. 50 (300-µm) sieve and at least 70 percent must also pass the No. 200 (75-µm) sieve).
Individual data elements are:
Layer Number (Item 1): The number of the AC layer for which a description is being provided (from sheet 2).
Composition of Coarse Aggregate (Items 2, 3, and 4): When more than one coarse aggregate is used, the type code as provided on the data sheet and percentage by total weight of coarse aggregate should be indicated for each coarse aggregate. Space is provided for up to three different types of coarse aggregate. If only one type of coarse aggregate is used, enter its type and 100 percent in the top set of the data spaces, leaving the others blank. Space is provided for identifying another type of material if one was used other than those for which codes are provided. Coarse aggregate is considered to be that portion retained on the No. 8 (2.36-mm) sieve.
Geologic Classification of Coarse Aggregate (Item 5): The geologic classification of the natural stone used as coarse aggregate in the concrete. These codes appear in appendix A, table A.8, and provide identification as to which of the three major classes of rock the coarse aggregate belongs and the type of rock within those classes. If a blend was used, enter the code for the geologic classification for the material representing the majority of the coarse aggregate. If a crushed slag, manufactured lightweight, or recycled concrete was used, enter "N."
Composition of Fine Aggregate (Items 6, 7, and 8): When more than one fine aggregate is used, the type code as provided on the data sheet and percentage by total weight of fine aggregate should be indicated for each fine aggregate. Fine aggregate is defined as that passing the No. 8 (2.36-mm) sieve and retained on the No. 200 (75-µm) sieve. Space is provided for up to three different fine aggregate types. If only one type of fine aggregate is used, enter its type code and 100 percent in the top set of the data spaces, leaving the others blank.
Type of Mineral Filler (Item 9): The type of mineral filler used as identified by one of the codes appearing on the data sheet.
Aggregate Durability Test Results (Items 10 through 13): The type of tests used to evaluate the durability of the aggregate used in the mix and the results in thousandths (0.001) recorded in units specified for the test. Three of these sets are for coarse aggregates (items 10, 11, and 12), and one (item 13) is for the combination of coarse and fine aggregates. The durability test type codes appear in appendix A, table A.12. Items 10, 11, and 12 are to correlate with items 2, 3, and 4 above, respectively.
Polish Value of Coarse Aggregates (Item 14): The accelerated polish value of the coarse aggregates used in the surface layer, as determined by AASHTO T279 (ASTM D3319).
This data sheet is a continuation of the data on data sheet 3. It should be completed for each AC overlay layer identified on sheet 2 that is thicker than 19 mm (0.75 inches).
Individual data elements are:
Layer Number (Item 1): The number of the AC layer for which a description is being provided (from sheet 2).
Gradation of Combined Aggregates (Item 2): The percent passing on various standard sieve sizes to the nearest 1 percent. It is not expected that values will be available for all 18 sieve sizes. The objective is to provide a sufficient number of sieve sizes to accommodate testing and specification practice for most highway agencies.
Bulk Specific Gravities (Items 3 through 6): The bulk specific gravities to the nearest thousandth (0.001) for coarse aggregate (item 3), fine aggregate (item 4), mineral filler (item 5), and the aggregate combination (item 6). The bulk specific gravities for the aggregate fractions are measured using the laboratory procedures indicated on the data sheet. The bulk specific gravity for the aggregate combination (usually called "bulk specific gravity of aggregate") is calculated as follows:
where: | ||

Entries for point distance will be the same for each of the three separate tests on specific load transfer devices at a particular joint. For LTPP, tests are to be conducted before and after restoration on the same joints.
There is no established ASTM or AASHTO procedure for measuring load transfer efficiency (LTE) for retrofit dowels or shear devices, but the following procedure using a falling weight deflectometer (FWD) can be used to provide the data requested:
Step 1. The FWD load plate is positioned for retrofit dowel bars, or for retrofit shear devices.
Step 2. A load of approximately 9,000 lbf (40 kN) (plus or minus 500 lbf (2 kN)) is applied and the deflections at sensors 1 and 2 are recorded.
Step 3. The FWD is moved to the center of the slab (or a position near the center where there is no crack) and the same approximate load applied and measurements made.
Step 4. The LTE is calculated as shown in equation 8:
where: | ||
dj1, dj2 | = | Measured deflections at sensors 1 and 2, respectively, near the joint |
dc1,dc2 | = | Measured deflections of sensors 1 and 2, respectively, near the center of the slab |
(Note: The purpose for including the center of slab deflections is to adjust the measurements at the joint for natural slab bending. This is believed to provide a more realistic value for LTE.)
The FWD measurements are not to be obtained when the temperature is greater than 80 °F (26.7 ºC) as the joints and cracks are likely to be closed tightly and high load transfer will typically be measured.
Load transfer measurements have also been made by removing sensors from the sensor bar and setting them right next to the joint on either side. While this is theoretically more accurate, it is not practical; and the ratio from 6 inches (152.4 mm) on either side has been found to closely approximate that from sensors adjacent to the joint.
It is preferable to make FWD measurements within 6 months after load transfer restoration is completed.
Date of Load Transfer Efficiency Tests (Item 5): Provide day, month, and year (last two digits) when tests were conducted, before and after the load restoration.
