As part of the Long Term Pavement Performance (LTPP) Program, the Arizona Department of Transportation constructed 19 Specific Pavement Studies 6 (SPS‐6) test sections on Interstate 40 near Flagstaff. The SPS‐6 project studied the effect of specific rehabilitation treatments on jointed portland cement concrete pavement (JPCP) performance. The test sections had various JPCP surface preparations, including crack and seat, minimum and maximum restoration, rubblization, asphalt concrete (AC) with fabric, and asphalt rubber with conventional AC. Opened to traffic in 1991, the project was monitored at regular intervals until 2002. Surface distress, profile, and deflection data collected throughout the life of the pavement were used to evaluate the performance of various flexible pavement design features, layer configurations, and thickness. This report documents the analyses conducted as well as practical findings and lessons learned that will be of interest to ADOT.

Sustainable housing strives for diverse, healthy, affordable, socially inclusive, resource-efficient, and culturally sensitive housing. This report’s current state assessment is based on five goals of sustainable housing, derived from sustainability and livability principles: meet demand with adequate housing options; provide sufficient quality of housing and promote healthy housing conditions; secure affordability of housing; conserve natural resources in homes; and maintain valuable cultural and historical character.

Crafting the next 5-year plan -- References and appendix||The transition strategy presented in this report describes a set of interventions necessary to create sustainable housing in the Eastlake-Garfield District of Phoenix, Arizona. The current state of housing in the District is not sustainable--the population is struggling with high vacancy rates, low affordability, overcrowding, and low incomes burdened by high transportation costs.
