Since 1986, FHWA has been performing accelerated pavement tests at its Pavement Testing Facility (PTF) located on the grounds of the Turner-Fairbank Highway Research Center. At this laboratory, FHWA uses two accelerated loading facility pavement testing machines to simulate the effects of heavy vehicle loading on full-scale test pavements. In 1992, FHWA, with help from Strategic Highway Research Program staff and contractors, started an experiment to validate selected aspects of the Superpave binder specification using accelerated pavement tests. Twelve test lanes with 48 individual test sites were constructed at the PTF in 1993. The results of accelerated pavement tests on these pavements will be used to validate the Superpave binder parameters for rutting and fatigue cracking.
