Research Projects

• For the completed projects shaded in gray that are assigned to your TWG, we would like to get your TWG's recommended action on what you believe needs to take place now that the project has been completed. Generally, that action would be to either

a) leave it as-is as an NCHRP document posted on the AASHTO

Maintenance website or

b) move it forward for balloting by the SCOM, where it would then become a published AASHTO document.
