This book was released on 2005 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the primary focus of the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) changes from highway construction to transportation maintenance, there is an increased need to extend the value derived from limited funding resources by increasing the service life of pavement rehabilitation treatments. In this regard, the development of a pavement warranty contract and a performance specification was considered in an effort to ensure that VDOT continues to deliver the highest quality pavement to the traveling public. The concept of a pavement warranty allows for a department of transportation to specify either performance criteria or materials properties that are to be met at the time of project acceptance or throughout the warranty period. These criteria are to be met through the efforts of the contractor in performing periodic maintenance or rehabilitation if required. Reports from the literature suggest that implementing warranty specifications may improve the final quality of the pavement project, reduce the state inspection forces required, and shift some of the responsibility from the department to the contractor. Other reports suggest that disadvantages may include a potential for reduced competition and higher material bid prices during the initial stages of warranty implementation. In an effort to help increase the overall quality of the roadway network and thus increase the service life of pavement resurfacings, VDOT sought to investigate the use of a warranty clause as part of an upcoming resurfacing contract. A performance-based warranty clause was developed in this pilot study to be included as part of the contract documents for a typical interstate resurfacing project. In this process, the bidding contractors would be given information about the condition of the pavement obtained from data collected through cores and the falling weight deflectometer and then the contractor would be responsible for developing the resurfacing pavement design that fulfilled the conditions of the warranty clause. The review of the submitted bids would be conducted in two stages where the technical merit of a proposal would be evaluated prior to the opening of a cost estimate. Because of the extensive deterioration of the pavement, the warranty concept was not pursued for the pilot project. This report recommends that the warranty concept be applied in another location as part of a future study. Reports in the literature from other state departments of transportation indicate that although warranties have the potential to improve overall pavement performance and reduce life-cycle costs, they must be developed such that competition between contractors is not reduced.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) currently uses snowplowable raised pavement markers (SRPMs) to supplement longitudinal pavement markings on some facilities. SRPMs are much more visible than traditional longitudinal markings under wet, nighttime conditions. SRPMs have been reported to dislodge from pavement, however, which has raised the question as to whether alternative marking materials might be able to replace SRPMs. The purpose of this study was to investigate the visibility performance of longitudinal pavement marking materials currently on the market. The specific objectives of this study were (1) to determine whether or not new pavement marking materials could be used in place of SRPMs; (2) if SRPMs were to be used, to develop guidelines for their installation and maintenance; and (3) to determine the costs and benefits of using SRPMs to the maximum extent possible. No new data on the visibility or durability of pavement marking materials were collected for this study. The study primarily synthesized existing research on the characteristics of different marking materials and then applied information derived from the synthesis to Virginia-specific data to estimate the impacts of using different materials. National practices for installing, inspecting, and maintaining SRPMs were also reviewed. The results of the literature review indicated that SRPMs remain the only marking system that provides sufficient nighttime preview time at high speeds, especially under wet conditions. Further, SRPMs can improve safety in certain situations, but they can also degrade safety in other situations since drivers may travel at higher speeds when the distance they can see down the road at night increases. Proposed guidelines for the installation and maintenance of SRPMs were developed. They recommend that SRPMs be installed on all limited access freeways, on all two-lane roads with an average daily traffic volume above 15,000 vehicles per day, and on all roads with a posted speed limit of 60 mph or greater. Several other situations where SRPMs might be installed based on engineering judgment were also identified. A proposed maintenance schedule that requires inspections every 2 to 3 years was also developed. A conservative economic analysis indicated that the benefits of installing and maintaining SRPMs using the guidelines developed in this study outweighed the costs by more than 80 to 1, based purely on potential safety improvements on road geometries where SRPMs have been shown to improve safety. Further, VDOT can realize cost savings by discontinuing SRPM usage on low-volume facilities and by revising particular SRPM standards.

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.

Book excerpt: The purpose of this report is to provide the reader with the ten-year analysis for the cost-benefit of hot mix asphalt projects constructed using the three and five-year warranty specifications developed by CDOT. There were eight projects evaluated using the three-year warranty specifications and two projects evaluated using the five-year warranty specifications. Each warranty project was evaluated with a comparable non-warranty (control) project. Overall, 214.6 lane-miles of warranty projects were constructed and compared to 276.6 lane-miles of control projects.
