Impact of Design Features on Pavement Response and Performance in Rehabilitated Flexible and Rigid Pavements

Appendix A. Summary Statistical Analysis

Flexible Pavements -SPS-5

The tables in this section describe the statistical results from the ANOVA performed in each site of the SPS-5 experiment. The number found after the State names represents the State code in the LTPP database. If statistical differences were found, they are described as "Y" in the statistical difference column, and the corresponding p-value is shown. If no statistical differences were found, they are described as "N."
