SECTION 1 INTRODUCTION
This study was initiated to collect materials and pavement performance data on a minimum of 100 highway test sections around the state of Texas, incorporating both flexible pavements and overlays. Besides being used to calibrate and validate mechanistic-empirical (M-E) design models, the data collected will also serve as an ongoing reference data source and/or diagnostic tool for TxDOT engineers and other transportation professionals.
Toward this goal, this product provides an itemized documentation of the data collection and population that is being conducted, namely:
• Number of test sections to date. • The MS Access® Data Storage System (DSS). • The Raw Data Storage System (RDSSP) for raw data storage. • The types of data being collected. • The data requirements and input parameters for M-E models and design software. • The specifications and methods used for both lab and field testing. • The field data collection forms. • Demonstration examples of how to access and navigate through the databases.
Detailed documentation of the data collection and population process can be found in:

SECTION 2 NUMBER OF TEST SECTIONS
As of summer 2014, 107 test sections had been identified on various highways across Texas. As listed in Table 2-1, these test sections comprise conventional thin (< 3-inch thick hot mix asphalt [HMA]), regular/intermediate, and thick (> 6-inch thick HMA) pavement structures encompassing surface treated pavements, overlays, new construction, and perpetual pavements.
Table 2-1. Number of Test Sections as of August 2014.
A location map of some of these test sections is shown in Figure 2-1; it covers all Texas climatic zones illustrated in Figure 2-2. Detailed tabulation of these test sections can be found in Appendix I. As of October 2014, about 25 percent of these test sections are still under various stages of construction such as surfacing layer placement, etc. Approximately 30 percent of the test sections have at least three years’ worth of field performance data. Note that both test section solicitation and field performance monitoring (twice per year) are ongoing processes throughout the course of the study.

SECTION 3 THE DATABASE AND REPOSITORY SYSTEM
The data storage system for this study consists of two repositories, one for the processed data and one for the unprocessed raw data, namely:
• The Microsoft (MS) Access DSS for the processed data. • The RDSSP for the unprocessed raw data.
For the processed data, MS Access was selected as the database (the DSS) platform due to its commercial availability, familiarity, user-friendliness, and easy access to TxDOT engineers and the general stakeholders. Figure 3-1 shows the DSS main menu screenshot.
Figure 3-1. The DSS – Main Menu Screenshot.
As a backup and to provide opportunities for data verification and future analyses as the users may deem necessary, the raw data files for all the data measured and collected in this study are concurrently kept in the RDSSP. Figure 3-2 shows an example of the RDSSP structure for some selected test sections. For easy accessibility, the RDSSP is linked to the DSS via a “Raw Data Files” function on the DSS main screen shown in Figure 3-1.

As an integral part of this product documentation and for demonstration purposes, a CD/USB
flash disk is also included and comprises the following contents:
a) The DSS in MS Access format (processed data).
b) The RDSSP (raw data with example folders and files for some selected test sections).

SECTION 4 DATA COLLECTION AND POPULATION
In general, a database should be multi-functional. While focusing on the data requirements for the Texas M-E models and related software, significant efforts were also made to collect, as much as possible, related pavement section data that could serve as an ongoing reference data source and/or general diagnostic tool for TxDOT engineers and other transportation professionals.
A database is considered useful only if it is populated with sufficient data, both in terms of quantity and accuracy. Accordingly, these researchers are collecting a variety of both laboratory and field data, including but not limited to the following:
• Design data and drawings including pavement cross sections.• Construction data, quality control/quality assurance (QC/QA) charts, and coring.• Material properties of each pavement layer (through both lab and field testing).• Field testing and pavement performance data (including ground penetrating radar [GPR],
falling weight deflectometer [FWD], dynamic cone penetrometer [DCP], profiles, rutting,cracking, aggregate loss, bleeding, coring, etc.).
• Traffic data including volume, classification, vehicle speeds, and load spectra (axleweights, truck distributions, adjustment factors, etc.).
• Climatic data including temperature and precipitation in Texas’ five climatic zones.
Tables 4-1 through 4-10 itemize the data that are currently being collected, processed/analyzed and stored in the DSS. These data are being cataloged by means of entry forms located under the drop down menu item “Project 0-6658: Forms”, or in tables under “Material Properties,” accessed by the selection menu on the left side of the main menu screen; see Figure 4-1. As of October 2014, the databases are comprised of data with the following volumes:
a) 538 MB for the DSS (processed data in MS Access platform)
b) 15 GB for the RDSSP (raw data/files)
Data collection methods and measurement procedures, including test specifications, test sequence, replicates, etc., are discussed in Section 6. Demonstration examples for data access and navigation of the databases are given in Section 7 and Appendix IV through to VI.
Note however that Table 4-10 comprises of a list of supplementary lab test data that the researchers collected from their own extra effort for research informational purposes only and other engineering analyses. These data collection are optional, they are not required as M-E input parameters nor are they mandated under Study 0-6658.

SECTION 5 M-E DATA REQUIREMENTS
As stated in the introductory section of this submission, one of the primary goals of this study is to collect sufficient data to aid in the calibration and validation of the M-E models and the related software, namely:
• The Flexible Pavement Design System (FPS) design procedure. • The Texas Overlay design system (TxACOL). • The Texas M-E (Tx-ME). • The Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide (M-E PDG).
Significant efforts were made in this study to ensure that the data requirements of these M-E models and related software were adequately addressed in the data collection plans and in both the DSS and RDSSP. Appendix II contains the itemized list of the various M-E data requirements and input parameters, along with their source locations in the DSS. Figures 5-1 to 5-4 show screenshots of the corresponding M-E software.

SECTION 7 DATABASE ACCESS AND NAVIGATION DEMO
All laboratory and field data can be accessed and navigated via the database system developed in Project 0-6658 as the following:
1) Unprocessed raw data from the RDSSP.
2) Processed data from the MS Access DSS.
Both data types can be downloaded, exported, and emailed directly from each of these database systems. These aspects are discussed and demonstrated in the subsequent subsections and Appendices IV thru VI, with full details to be documented in Product 0-6658-P2 (User’s Manual). Prototype databases for demonstration purposes have been included in the accompanying external drive (CD/USB flash disk).
THE RDSSP – ACCESSING AND DOWNLOADING DATA
All the unprocessed raw data measured and collected in this study are available in the RDSSP and can be accessed and downloaded for data verification and future analysis. The RDSSP is linked to the DSS via a Raw Data Files function on the DSS main screen shown in Figure 7-1. In response to the user clicking on Raw Data Files in the DSS main menu, the Raw Data Prompt dialog box will appear, asking for the destination of the raw data collected.
Figure 7-1. DSS Main Menu and Raw Data Prompt in DSS.
26
When the user specifies a destination, the linked website will open in a web browser as shown in Figure 7-2. Upon clicking a test section and selecting a data folder to be accessed, the user can access, download, and email the data file as exemplified in Figure 7-3.
Figure 7-2. The RDSSP Website.
Figure 7-3. Downloading and Emailing Data in RDSSP.
27
In the current setup, a user ID and password that can be obtained from TTI are required to access the RDSSP. Thus, for demonstration purposes and size considerations, an extract of the RDSSP with some three selected test sections (1.68 GB) has been included in the CD/USB flash disk accompanying this documentation.
THE DSS – ACCESSING, ANALYZING, AND DISPLAYING DATA
The DSS allows users to conveniently assess, analyze, and display the stored data (refer to the accompanying CD/USB flash disk for access to the DSS). The four view options at the bottom right corner of MS Access, namely the Datasheet view, the Pivot Table view, the Pivot Chart view, and the Design view are useful for these purposes (Figure 7-4).
Figure 7-4. View Options in the MS Access for Analyzing and Displaying Data.
Showing Average, Maximum, Minimum, and Standard Deviation of Data in a Table
Mathematical operations such as average, maximum, minimum, standard deviation (Stdev), etc., can be performed on the stored DSS data in the Pivot Table View. The detailed step-by-step procedure is presented in Table IV-1 in Appendix IV. In the Pivot Table view, the user can select the data set to be analyzed from a Pivot Table Field List and drag it to the desired position in the Pivot Table (Figure 7-5). The desired analyses can be performed by right clicking on the data table and selecting AutoCalc followed by the appropriate analysis option (e.g., average, maximum, minimum, standard deviation).
28
Figure 7-5. Calculating Average, Maximum, Minimum, and Stdev in Pivot Table View.
The desired analysis result/results for all the data in the column will be presented at the end of the data column as exemplified in Figure 7-6.
Figure 7-6. Calculating Average, Maximum, Minimum, and Stdev in Pivot Table.
Generating Graphs from Data in a Table
Graphs can be generated from the stored DSS data in the Pivot Chart View. The data to be presented in the chart can be dragged and dropped to their appropriate axes from a Chart Field List as shown in Figure 7-7.
29
Figure 7-7. Generating Data Charts in Pivot Chart View in MS Access.
Multiple data sets can be presented in this procedure by simply adding the desired data to the appropriate axes. The detailed step-by-step procedure is presented in Table IV-2 in Appendix IV.
THE DSS – EXPORTING AND EMAILING DATA
All tables in the MS Access DSS can be exported or emailed as a specific file type such as an Excel or PDF file directly from MS Access. This can be done by clicking on the Export group in the External Data tab, and then clicking on Excel, PDF or XPS or E-mail on the export category as shown in Figure 7-8.
Figure 7-8. Exporting and Emailing Tables.
Exporting a Table to Excel File
In response to clicking on the Excel option, a menu will appear asking for a destination file name and format as shown in Figure 7-9. By specifying a folder location for the table and clicking OK, the Excel file can be found in the destination folder. In order to preserve the formatting of the table, check the option of “Export data with formatting and layout.”
30
Figure 7-9. Excel Exporting Option Menu.
Exporting a Table to PDF
The DSS tables can be published as PDF to be used for documentation. In response to clicking on the PDF or XPS option in the Export group, a menu will appear selecting a destination and typing a name for the table as shown in Figure 7-10. By clicking Publish, the PDF file can be found in the destination folder.
Figure 7-10. PDF Exporting Option Menu.
31
Emailing a Data Table
Clicking the Email option in the Export group opens a pop-up menu asking to specify the file format. Once the file format has been selected, Microsoft Outlook will open a new message window with the file as an attachment, as shown in Figure 7-11. It is noted that the email option to export tables will not work if the user is disconnected from Microsoft Outlook. Appendix V contains step-by-step examples for exporting and emailing the DSS data tables.
Figure 7-11. Microsoft Outlook Email Draft with Attachment.
THE DSS – ACCESSING MULTIPLE DATA
Multiple data columns from different tables can be accessed and presented together in MS Access by creating a Query Table (see Figure 7-12). The user can select the desired data fields from their respective tables in the Query Design and select the order in which the data fields are to be presented and displayed. The data in the Tables can also be filtered by declaring the Criteria for each field. The detailed step-by-step procedure is presented in Appendix VI.

APPENDIX IV. EXAMPLES OF ANALYZING AND DISPLAYING DSS DATA
Table IV-1. Accessing and Analyzing the DSS Data: Showing Average, Maximum, Minimum, etc. of Data in a Table.
1. Open a data table that you want to analyze for maximum, minimum, average, standard deviation, etc. For this example, we are using the DSS table: “HMA: Overlay (OT) (Tex-248-F │ ≤ 1000 cycles)”
2. Open the table in the Pivot Table View by clicking the icon in the bottom right corner.
3. The pivot table includes a Pivot Table Field List that lists all the data fields in the table and four areas/zones, namely the Filter field, Column field, Row field, and Totals or Detail field. Any data field from the Pivot Table Field List can be dragged and dropped to one of these four zones.
60
Table IV-1. Accessing and Analyzing the DSS Data: Showing Average, Maximum, Minimum, etc. of Data in a Table (Continued).
4. From the PivotTable Field List in the Pivot Table View, drag and drop the desired data field into the empty space in the middle of the pivot table marked as: Drop Totals or Detail Fields Here. For this example, we are using the Section_ID, HWY, and OT_Cycles data fields.
5. Select the data column, click the right mouse button, and select analysis types in AutoCalc, e.g., summation, maximum, minimum, average, standard deviation, etc.
6. The desired analysis result/results for all the data in the column will be presented at the end of the data column.
61
Table IV-1. Accessing and Analyzing the DSS Data: Showing Average, Maximum, Minimum, etc., of Data in a Table (Continued).
7. You can also add other fields (e.g., PVMNT_Type, SampleID, etc.) to the pivot table following the same “drag and drop” procedure as described in Item #3 in this table.
8. The average OT_Cycles for each Section can be calculated by moving the Section_ID field to the Row Field (drag and drop). Similarly, the average for each HMA_MixType, PVMNT_Type, climatic region, etc., can be obtained by simply dropping the desired Field to the Row Fields area.
62
Table IV-1. Accessing and Analyzing the DSS Data: Showing Average, Maximum, Minimum, etc. of Data in a Table (Continued).
9. You can also filter the data by dropping the filter criteria from the Pivot Table Field List to the Filter Field. In this example, we’ll filter the data by Climatic Region.
63
Table IV-2. Accessing and Analyzing the DSS Data: Generating Graphs from Data in a Table.
1. Open a DSS table that contains the data for drawing graphs. For this example, we are using the DSS Table: “HMA: Overlay (OT) (Tex-248-F │ ≤ 1000 cycles)”
2. Click the Pivot Chart View icon in the bottom right corner.
The Chart Field List appears and lists all the data fields in the DSS table.
The Pivot Chart includes four fields:
- Filter Field. - Data Field. - Series Field. - Category Field.
The Filter Field can be used to filter the presented data.
The Category Field and the Data Field comprise the x- and y-axes of the chart, respectively.
Any data field from the Pivot Table Field List can be dragged and dropped to one of these four zones.
64
Table IV-2. Accessing and Analyzing the DSS Data: Generating Graphs from Data in a Table (Continued).
3. From the Chart Field List, drag and drop an item to the Category Field for the x-axis of the chart. Similarly, drag and drop another item to the Data Field for the y-axis data.
For example, the following items were dragged and dropped for a bar chart as:
- HWY to Category Field - OT_Cycles to Data Field
4. Note that the chart automatically shows the Sum of OT Cycles in the y-axis since there are multiple data points for each Hwy section.
To use the Average of OT_Cycles as the y-axis, you can right click on the Sum of OT_Cycles, and select Average in AutoCalc.
65
Table IV-2. Accessing and Analyzing the DSS Data: Generating Graphs from Data in a Table (Continued).
5. By adding the Section_ID field to the Category Field, you can see the information of some test sections you want to see:
- Add the Section_ID field next to the HWY (in the Category Field).
- Click the down arrow at Section_ID.
- Select the section number(s) to be included in the chart.
66
Table IV-2. Accessing and Analyzing the DSS Data: Generating Graphs from Data in a Table (Continued).
6. You can add more Fields to the Data Field to present multiple data sets together in one chart by using the drag and drop function.
7. To change the Chart type, select a desired chart type from the Change Chart Type. The line chart is presented here as an example.
67
APPENDIX V. EXAMPLES OF EXPORTING AND EMAILING DSS DATA
Table V-1. Exporting a DSS Table to Excel Workbook. 1. Open a data table that you want to export.
2. On the External Data tab, in the Export group, click Excel.
3. In the Export - Excel Spreadsheet dialog box, specify the destination of the Excel workbook. You can change the file name if you want to.
68
Table V-1. Exporting a DSS Table to Excel Workbook (Continued). 4. If you want to export the formatted data, select the Export data with formatting and layout check box.
To view the Excel workbook after the export operation is complete, select the Open the destination file after the export operation is complete check box.
5. Go to the destination folder and find the exported Excel workbook.
69
Table V-2. Exporting a DSS Table to PDF. 1. Open a data table in the DSS that you want to export.
2. On the External Data tab, in the Export group, click PDF or XPS.
3. In the Publish as PDF or XPS dialog box, specify the destination of the PDF file and/or select a file name.
70
Table V-2. Exporting a DSS Table to PDF (Continued). 4. In the Publish as PDF or XPS dialog box, select one of the Optimize for options:
a. If the document requires high print quality, click Standard (publishing online and printing).
b. If file size is more important than print quality, click Minimum size (publishing online).
5. Click the Publish button.
5. Go to the destination folder and find the exported PDF file.
71
Table V-3. Emailing a DSS Table.* 1. Open a data table in the DSS that you want to email.
Note that the current MS Access emailing option works only with MS Outlook.
2. On the External Data tab, in the Export group, click E-mail.
3. In the Send Object As dialog box, select one output format and click OK.
72
Table V-3. Emailing a DSS Table (Continued).* 4. Add the email address(es) to which you want to send the data and click send.
* To email a DSS table, users must have Outlook installed and configured on their computer.
73
APPENDIX VI. EXAMPLE OF ACCESSING MULTIPLE DSS DATA
Table VI-1. Accessing Multiple Data. 1. To create a Query Table with multiple data columns from different DSS tables, select Query Design in the Create tab. The Show Table dialog box will open. Select the tables where the desired data are stored.
In the example, we’ll open the following tables to compare the HWTT, OT, and field rutting data from the DSS:
1. HMA: Hamburg (Tex-242-F) (Rut Depth in mm). 2. HMA: Overlay (OT) (Tex-248-F 1 ≤1000 cycles). 3. FPD: Surface Rutting (inches).
2. From each table, double click on the desired fields to add them to the query. The order of the columns can be adjusted by simply selecting the column and dragging to its desired position.
In the example, the following Data columns were included: Section ID; Hwy; HMA_Mix Type; Sample_ID; HWTT rut depth at 5000, 10000, 15000, and 20000 cycles; OT_Cycles; Peak Load(lbs); AVG field rutting at LWP, RWP, and LWP/RWP.
74
Table VI-1. Accessing Multiple Data (Continued). 3. Once the order of the columns is finalized, select the Data Sheet View in the bottom right corner to view the final Query Table.
4. You can also filter to show only selected rows of data.
For example, if you want to see the data for Section 1 only, type “TxDOT_TTI-00001” in the Criteria for Section_ID field.
