Required Reading

Introduction and Pavement Types

Pavement Tools Consortium (PTC). (2007). Pavement Interactive. Online Wiki site at: http://www.pavementinteractive.org. Pavement Tools Consortium, University of Washington, Seattle, WA.

• Read the Pavement Types module (all articles)

Pavement Interactive

Pavement Tools Consortium (PTC). (2007). Pavement Interactive. Online Wiki site at: http://www.pavementinteractive.org. Pavement Tools Consortium, University of Washington, Seattle, WA.

• View the "help" section tutorials as needed.

Wikipedia: How to edit a page. (2007). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:How_to_edit_a_page

Wikipedia: Help: Table. (2007). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Table

• This is your user's manual for editing pages in this Wiki.
• I've included a reference for creating tables too. Tables are done in shorthand, which can be confusing at first but later becomes faster than any other method.

Long-Lasting Pavements

Transportation Research Board (TRB). Perpetual Bituminous Pavements. TRB Circular No. 503, TRB, National Research Council, Washington, D.C. http://onlinepubs.trb.org/onlinepubs/circulars/circular_503.pdf

• Read the first article by Newcomb, Buncher and Huddleston. It's a good introduction to what a Perpetual Pavement is and why we are interested in them.

Muench, S.T.; Mahoney, J.P.; Pierce, L.M.; Uhlmeyer, J. and Anderson, K. (2006). The Evolution of Long-Life Concrete Pavements in Washington State. Proceedings of the International Conference on Long-Life Concrete Pavements, 24-27 October 2006, Chicago, IL. Please go to the Discussion Board to see the paper.

• This is basically where we are with concrete pavements in Washington State.

Muench, S.T.; Mahoney, J.P.; Wataru, W.; Chong, L. and Romanowski, J. (2007). Best Practices for Long-Lasting Low-Volume Pavements. Journal of Infrastructure Systems, Vol. 13, No. 4. pp. 311-320. Please go to the Discussion Board to see the paper.

• This is our take of how a low-volume pavement can last a long, long time.

Contemporary Issues in HMA Pavements

• This can show you the latest about what WSDOT thinks the Superpave mix design method has done for them. A very short read.

• The summary and conclusions chapter is especially useful. Read this part. It is quite a long report otherwise.

• Read the executive summary and the conclusions - should go real quick (don't read all 168 pages)

Muench, S.T. and CEE 597 class from Spring 2008. UW corrections to PaLATE for use in class. Spent a good chunk of time figuring out how to fix PaLATE so that we could reliably use it in class. The version you download from the web has some major errors that essentially render its output meaningless. Here is the version of PaLATE you should use (it's got all the corrections discussed):

• UW version of PaLATE (note: this has major corrections from version 2.0)
