Preface
Accelerated Pavement Testing (APT) provides pavement engineers and practitioners with valuable information concerning the behavior, performance, and life expectancy of pavement structures in a very short period of time, by means of controlled loading conditions. This results in improved understanding of pavement structural behavior and response under different loading and environmental conditions, comparison between different design methods and evaluation of new materials and specifications, and identification of construction method’s deficiencies and sources of variability. The previous has been highly valued by several transportation agencies where the development of an APT program has been preferred to the option of analyzing pavement structures in the long term, under the understanding that an APT test does not necessarily equal a long-term pavement performance st
