"TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program Report 747: Guide for Conducting Forensic Investigations of Highway Pavements explores a process for conducting forensic investigations of pavements that is designed to help understand the reasons behind premature failures or exceptionally good performance. The process also allows for the collection of data for use in developing or calibrating performance-prediction models. The report includes example forms and checklists for use during the conduct of an investigation. These forms can be modified to suit the particular requirements and procedures for the agency. The example forms are included with the print version of the report in CD-ROM format." --Publisher description.

This thesis presents the recommendation for whether the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) should adopt the National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Report 747 (Guide for Conducting Forensic Investigations of Highway Pavements) as a guide to conduct forensic investigations. The evaluation of three pavement types using the NCHRP 747 guide is completed: Jointed Plain Concrete (JPC), Continuously Reinforced Concrete (CRC), and Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA). Each type consisted of an evaluation of two sites in "good/fair" and "poor" conditions. Non-destructive testing was performed using a Ground Penetration Radar (GPR) and Falling Weight Deflectometer (FWD). Destructive and on-site field testing were performed consistently with the recommendations of the guide. Laboratory tests were conducted to determine material properties and combined with traffic data to form conclusions about the causes of pavement distress. It is recommended from this study that the GDOT adopts the NCHRP Report 747 for use in Georgia.

The Managing Forensic Analysis Module is to introduce the tools, techniques and methodologies, that have been identified as being “best tested and proven” practices from Forensic Analyses and which have been found to work on “most projects, most of the time”; provide a logical or rational sequence showing when those tools or techniques would normally and customarily be used and in selected instances, show how to use those tools/techniques and/or where to find additional information on how to use or apply them.

This guide provides guidance to calibrate the Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide (MEPDG) software to local conditions, policies, and materials. It provides the highway community with a state-of-the-practice tool for the design of new and rehabilitated pavement structures, based on mechanistic-empirical (M-E) principles. The design procedure calculates pavement responses (stresses, strains, and deflections) and uses those responses to compute incremental damage over time. The procedure empirically relates the cumulative damage to observed pavement distresses.
