The rigid pavement (RP) database contains historical distress data obtained from more than 400 continuously reinforced concrete pavements (CRCP) and jointed concrete pavements (JCP) across the state of Texas. Data collection efforts began in 1974 and have been undertaken periodically up to the present. The database contents include such performance-related variables as punchouts, patches, spalling, ride score, crack spacing, and deflection basins, as well as such inventory variables as location, design thickness, coarse aggregate type, climate, soil characteristics, date of construction, and overlay status. Taken as a whole, the RP database comprises a unique asset for empirical investigation of factors affecting long-term pavement performance in Texas.

Pavement Engineering: Principles and Practice examines a wide range of topics in asphalt and concrete pavements from soil preparation and structural design to life cycle costing and economic analysis. This updated Fourth Edition covers all concepts and practices of pavement engineering in terms of materials, design, and construction methods for both flexible and rigid pavements and includes the latest developments in recycling, sustainable pavement materials, and resilient infrastructure. New and updated topics include material characterization concepts and tests, pavement management concepts, probabilistic examples of life cycle cost analysis, end-of-life considerations, waste plastic in asphalt, pervious concrete, pavement monitoring instrumentation and data acquisition, and more. The latest updated references, state of the art reviews, and online resources have also been included.
