ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT: Pavement and Materials Technology Review (PMTR) is a method that can provide guidance in assessing improvements and advancements that are applicable to a specific municipality. A PMTR first involves an evaluation of typical pavement condition in the area and determining the current state-of-the-practice. This includes thorough assessment of the current specifications, submittals from contractors, construction testing results, laboratory testing results that cover the span of multiple recent years, acceptance and follow ups. With this information it is possible to identify practices that are working well and producing quality results and also highlight areas where improvements or changes are required.
