The service contract from CGAR has been signed by SPSU and Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT).

Starting May 2012, the funded special research study has focused on the structural analysis of Georgia pavements containing aggregate base layer in the state of Georgia.
The CGAR has been playing a significant role to accurately identify the pavement structure and provide meaningful analyses of Georgia pavements for GDOT.
