Abstract

Full-scale accelerated pavement testing (APT) facilities developed throughout the world since the AASHO Road Test 1958–62 were described by Metcalf (Application of full-scale accelerated pavement testing. National Academy Press, Washington, 1996). The purpose of this paper is to document facilities in operation before the 1960’s. Some facilities were identified where details are very limited.
