... 26 CHAPTER 3 EFFECTS OF SUBSURFACE DRAINAGE ON CONCRETE PAVEMENTS DESCRIPTION OF LTPP EXPERIMENT SPS-2 The SPS-2 experiment (Strategic Study of Structural Factors for Rigid Pavements) was designed to assess the influence of the following factors on the performance of jointed concrete pavements: • Concrete thickness, • Concrete flexural strength, • Base type, • Lane width, • Subdrainage, • Climate, • Subgrade, and • Truck traffic level.

... and the 1-year, 1-hour rainfall for nearly all of the SPS-1 and SPS-2 sites. The exceptions are the three SPS-1 sites closest to the Gulf coast (Texas, Louisiana, and Florida)
From page 28...
... The presence of filter fabric below the permeable asphalttreated base in the SPS-2 test sections designed to be drained is summarized in Table 28. This summary is based on information in the TST_L05B and SPS2_LAYER data tables and the LTPP regional support centers' responses to an LTPP Data Analysis/Operations Feedback Report (KTH-2, 11 June 2002)

... There were very few SPS-2 pavement sections with corner breaks, and there were almost never more than one or two corner breaks in the test section. Thus, the number of corner breaks in each section where they occurred was multiplied by 2 meters, and added to the total length of transverse cracking in meters.
