Asphalt Pavement Technology Labs

Accelerated Load Facility (ALF)

The Pavement Testing Facility (PTF) is used to rapidly collect data on pavement performance under conditions in which axle loading and climatic conditions are controlled. This laboratory is also used to study the complex interactions between pavement structures, construction materials and axle loads. The primary objective of PTF is to develop and verify new specifications, designs, and test procedures. View Complete Overview on the Pavement Testing Facility
