This report details the construction of two test pavements which were used for an assessment of fatigue performance of cemented materials under full scale, rolling wheel, accelerated pavement testing (APT). The test pavement consisted of a sand subgrade, a cemented base with a nominal thickness of 150 mm and a thin asphalt surfacing with a nominal thickness of 30 mm. A detailed assessment of the construction was undertaken to record as-constructed data for a number of key parameters of interest. These included layer thickness, relative compaction, moisture content, pavement deflection and dynamic cone penetrometer (DCP) tests.
