When the elapsed time is 6years, the AC layer becomes in good condition (diagonal). At the elapsed time of 10 years, the AC becomes in fair condition, a thin overlay is added (the bar length increases), and the pavement surface is restored to very good condition. At the elapsed time of 13years, the pavement surface (the thin overlay) becomes in good condition while the bar of the lower AC layer indicates fair condition. At the elapsed time of 17 years, the bars representing the original AC and the thin overlay indicate fair condition. At that time, another thin overlay was added, and the pavement surface condition was restored to very good condition. At the elapsed time of 20years, the condition of the last thin overlay becomes good while the bar representing the older thin overlay and the original AC layer indicates fair condition. Finally, at the elapsed time of 22 years, a thin mill-and-fill treatment was applied, and the condition of the pavement surface (the surface of the AC fill) was restored to very good condition, and the bar representing the original AC and the first thin overlay indicates fair condition.

For Thick OL, Washington, Louisiana, SPS, and GPS are approximately 13.5, 11.5, 4, and 4 years, respectively. For Thin M&F, Washington, Colorado, Louisiana, SPS, and GPS are approximately 9.5, 4, 12, 5.5, and 4 years, respectively. For Thick M&F, Louisiana, SPS, and GPS are approximately 13, 6.5, and 9.5 years, respectively. For CS, Washington, Colorado, Louisiana, and SPS are approximately 10, 5, 11, and 8 years, respectively.

Figure 114. Graph. Comparison of the weighted average RSP based on transverse cracking of five treatment types performed on LTPP test sections and on pavement projects of CDOT, LADOTD, and WSDOT. This bar graph displays “RFP (year)” on the y-axis and “Thin OL,” “Thick OL,” “Thin M&F,” “Thick M&F,” and “CS” in five respective sections on the x-axis. OL, M&F, and CS represent overlay, mill and fill, and chip seal. Up to five bars of data are provided in each section. Left-slanted lines, right-slanted lines, horizontal dash, vertical dash, and brick patterned bars represent Washington, Colorado, Louisiana, specific pavement studies (SPS), and general pavement studies (GPS), respectively. For Thin OL, Washington, Colorado, Louisiana, SPS, and GPS are approximately 19, 12.5, 10.5, 12.5, and 12 years, respectively. For Thick OL, Washington, Colorado, SPS, and GPS are approximately 20, 14, 15.5, and 14 years, respectively. For Thin M&F, Washington, Colorado, Louisiana, SPS, and GPS are approximately 19, 8, 14.5, 15, and 10.5 years, respectively. For Thick M&F, Louisiana, SPS, and GPS are approximately 16, 16.5, and 15.5 years, respectively. For CS, Washington, Colorado, Louisiana, and SPS are approximately 20, 6.5, 13, and 11.5 years, respectively.

Figure 115. Graph. Comparison of the weighted average CSP based on transverse cracking of five treatment types performed on LTPP test sections and on pavement projects of CDOT, LADOTD, and WSDOT. This bar graph displays “RFP (year)” on the y-axis and “Thin OL,” “Thick OL,” “Thin M&F,” “Thick M&F,” and “CS” in five respective sections on the x-axis.

Left-slanted lines, right-slanted lines, horizontal dash, vertical dash, and brick patterned bars represent Washington, Colorado, Louisiana, specific pavement studies (SPS), and general pavement studies (GPS), respectively. For Thin OL, Washington, Colorado, Louisiana, SPS, and GPS are approximately 2, 4, 3.5, 0.5, and 6.5 years, respectively. For Thick OL, Washington, Colorado, SPS, and GPS are approximately 2, 8, 3, and 11 years, respectively. For Thin M&F, Washington, Colorado, Louisiana, SPS, and GPS are approximately 2, -3.5, 8.5, 2, and 4.5 years, respectively. For Thick M&F, Louisiana, SPS, and GPS are approximately 12, 4, and 6.5 years, respectively. For CS, Washington, Colorado, Louisiana, and SPS are approximately 0.5, 3, 8.5, and 1.5 years, respectively.
