Description The Long-Term Pavement Performance (LTPP) studies of the Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP) address the need for improved technology for pavement design, construction, maintenance, and rehabilitation. The LTPP experiments are classified into two groups: General Pavement Studies (GPS) and Specific Pavement Studies (SPS). While the GPS program focuses on existing pavements, covering the most commonly used pavement types in the United States and Canada, the SPS program includes specially constructed pavements that will help develop a better understanding of the effects on performance of a few targeted factors not widely covered in the GPS. Through the construction and evaluation of the specially constructed test sections, the SPS program explores options for construction of new pavements, the application of maintenance treatments to the existing pavements, and the rehabilitation of distressed pavements.
