Fundamental Properties of Asphalts and Modified Asphalts, III

SUBTASK 4-3. RESEARCH DATABASE—CONTRACTOR TEAM ACTIVITIES
This database is to include recent, ongoing and planned research and outreach activities. More
specifically, research problem statements, timelines, research results, contacts and relationships
to other studies are to be posted. It is to be designed in a format similar to the (portland)
concrete pavements database found at http://www.cproadmap.com//research/search.aspx. WRI
has interpreted this to mean that WRI is to develop its own such database and the COTR has
agreed to this. It is the opinion of the COTR that this database is not to have restricted access as
with the concrete pavements database. This effort is being accomplished as follows: As each set
of work plans has been accepted by FHWA (with revisions if necessary), and as quarterly reports
are submitted, each has been posted at www.asphaltmodelsetg.org . Outreach activities can be
seen at www.westernresearch.org . Click Transportation Technology and choose from among 18
outreach activities listed in the left column. Although these two sites do not exactly duplicate the
portland concrete database format, the two web sites do provide all of the information required
for this subtask.
