This book was released on 1995 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This synthesis will be of interest to administrators, including contract and specifications administrators; research, construction, materials, specification, and design engineers; agency project managers and staff; and highway construction contractors. It describes the state of the practice with respect to the development and present status of performance-related specifications (PRS) for highway materials and construction. This report of the Transportation Research Board summarizes the historical events that have prompted U.S. interest in PRS development and describes the underlying concepts. In addition, it describes current practice with regard to PRS implementation and refers to the principal PRS literature with emphasis on performance and cost models. It emphasizes the utility of PRS in providing objective/ rational measures that can be used for special contract conditions, such as incentive or disincentive adjustments.

Download or read book Review of Data in Construction Management System (CMS) and Quality Control and Quality Assurance (QC/QA) Databases to Improve Current Specifications for Superpave and Concrete Pavements in Kansas written by Daba Gedafa and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Statistical specifications for highway construction are usually part of a statistical quality control process. These specifications provide the means to measure the important quality control attributes and ensure their compliance. The pay adjustments, part of these specifications, reflect the amount of deduction or bonus and the optimized risk distributed between the owner and the contractor. The Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) has built a comprehensive database of as-constructed properties of materials for Superpave pavements from the tests required as part of the Quality Control/Quality Assurance (QC/QA) program. Currently, KDOT pays incentives/disincentives for air voids and in-place density for Superpave pavements and thickness and strength for PCC pavements. A practical performance model and a composite index that include air voids, in-place density, asphalt content, and voids in mineral aggregate for Superpave pavements and thickness and strength for PCC pavements, respectively are needed to reflect the factors that affect their performance. The main objectives of this study were to investigate the effect of levels of significance and lot size, and to develop practical performance models and composite index for Superpave and PCC pavements in Kansas. Thirty-five Superpave pavements and 13 PCC projects from six administrative districts of KDOT were selected for this study. Lot-wise comparison showed that QC/QA means are significantly different in most cases. The number of cases with a significant difference in means increases with an increase in significance level. Practical performance models and composite index values from multiple quality characteristics have been proposed as integral parts of performance-related specifications (PRS) for Superpave and PCC pavements in Kansas.

This book was released on 2000 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The current performance-related specifications (PRS) methodology has been under development by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) for several years and has now reached a level at which it can be implemented by State highway agencies. PRS for highway pavements depend heavily on performance prediction models to determine the impact of varying levels of construction quality. This study focused on the improvement of the key distress and smoothness prediction models used in the PRS for jointed plain concrete pavement (JPCP). Performance models for transverse joint faulting, transverse slab cracking, transverse joint spalling, and smoothness (International Roughness Index [MI]) were evaluated and then improved substantially. This was accomplished using a comprehensive national database of JPCP performance data, along with sound statistical and engineering techniques. Performance model calibration guidelines were also developed so that a State cari calibrate any of these models specifically to its pavement performance data. The PaveSpec PRS demonstration software was upgraded to Version 3.0 under this study. Some of the specific improvements incorporated in PaveSpec 3.0 include: 1) incorporation ofyim proved distress indicator models, as well as the ability to calibrate or modify the default models, 2) sensitivity analysis capabilities, 3) expected pay charts, and 4) online help. Appendix A of this report contains a complete updated PaveSpec User's Guide"--Technical report documentation page

This book was released on 2008 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report presents an Executive Summary of a comprehensive study conducted by ASU regarding a series of 11 separate projects relating to the implementation of the ME-PDG (developed under NCHRP 1-37A and NCHRP 1-40D)for the state of Arizona. The individual study project reports deal with the characterization of a variety of AC Binder types used by ADOT (Project 2); characterization results of E* Master Curve results for typical AC mixtures used in Arizona (Project 3); the characterization of these typical ac Mixtures for Thermal Fracture (Project 4), Permanent Deformation (Project 5), and Load associated Fatigue (Project 6). In addition, recommendations are made in Project 7 regarding the implementation of the SPT for AC Mixtures. Projects 8 & 9 focus on unbound bases/subbases and subgrades. Project 8 describes the results on non-linear Mr response on as variety of typical unbound bases and subgrades. Project 9 deals with the development of an unbound material permanent deformation database and development of a more universal permanent strain model. In the Project 10 study report, the state of Arizona has been subdivided, on the basis of relatively unique climatic regions based upon regional geomorphology. A total of 10 climatice regions in Arizona have been developed and a listing of current EICM weather stations found in the ME-PDG are identified by climatic region. Finally, Project 11 is a very comprehensive report study of the existing ADOT traffic files for eventual inclusion with the ME-PDG. A computerized (spreadsheet) traffic database of the entire ADOT highway network was conducted This database incorporates every mile of the Arizona highway network(6 Interstates; 13 U.S. Highways and 86 state highways). Four significant traffic factors are included in the database: Average Annual Daily Traffic(AADT), Annual Growth Rate (rg), Percent Trucks (pt), and Vehicle Classification Percentage (VCP). Relatively homogeneous traffic units were selected based on existing ADOT HPMS and VCP stations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Report 704: A Performance-Related Specification for Hot-Mixed Asphalt provides a proposed performance-related specification (PRS) for hot-mix asphalt (HMA) in the form of the Microsoft Windows-based Quality-Related Specification Software (QRSS). The QRSS is a stand-alone program for Microsoft Windows (versions XP and 7) that employs a database of pre-solved solutions of the Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide. The program is capable of (1) calculating the predicted rutting, fatigue cracking, and low-temperature (thermal) cracking of an HMA pavement from the mix volumetric and binder and aggregate properties of the as-designed HMA (typically the job mix formula) and (2) comparing them with predictions calculated from the contractor's lot or sub-lot quality assurance data for the same properties.
