31 4.1 Conclusions As a general conclusion, applying TAM concepts to geotechnical assets is a beneficial process for managing life-cycle risk, performance, and investment for assets such as embankments, slopes, retaining walls, and subgrades. Fortunately, information from the few long-term and sustainable GAM programs in other countries and from existing infrastructure systems indicates that state transportation agencies can be confident of the benefits without having to undertake new research or implement untested processes and systems.

32 Geotechnical Asset Management for Transportation Agencies, Volume 1: Research Overview 4.2 Suggested Research The objective of this research was to produce an implementation manual for developing a GAM program. Once empirical data obtained through the actual execution of GAM implementation across the United States are made available, there likely will be several future research directives that can support process improvement in GAM programs.
