Development of an Implementation Manual for Geotechnical Asset Management for Transportation Agencies

Moving Ahead with Progress for the 21st Century (MAP-21) and Fixing America’s Surface Transportation (FAST) Act, call for risk and performance-based asset management for bridges and pavements and encourage state transportation agencies to develop and implement transportation asset management strategies for all assets within the right-of-way. This study contributes to the body of knowledge going beyond the initial steps of Geotechnical Asset Management (GAM) and places emphasis on incorporating geotechnical assets into transportation asset management. The objective of this research is to produce a manual for developing and implementing a geotechnical asset management program. The manual provides plans and tools for a consistent management program that is flexible enough to meet the needs of agencies having varied levels of maturity as they integrate the geotechnical assets into their overall asset management programs.
