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.

This book was released on 2006 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the mid 60's the Federal Highway Administration began to encourage Departments of Transportation and Contractors toward the use of quality control and quality assurance (QA/QC) specifications, which are statistically based. For example, a QA specification has become an important component in organization commitment to overall quality management. This consists of several activities including: process control, acceptance, and sometimes independent assurance of product (Buttlar and Harrell, 1998). These specifications must be designed to reward good quality, and penalize poor quality. The QA specification, also called as the QA/QC specification, is a combination of end-result specifications and materials and methods specifications. The highway agency is responsible for the acceptance of the product that is produced by the contractor following or implementing quality control in order to produce a product that meets the specifications provided by the highway agency. QA specifications typically are statistically based specifications that use methods such as random sampling in which the properties of the desired products or constructions are described by appropriate statistical parameters, and lot by lot testing. These methods would help the contractor know whether or not the operations are producing the acceptable product. Specifications for the construction of asphalt pavements can be classified into propriety specifications, method-related specifications (MRS), end-result specifications (ERS), performance-related specifications (PRS) or combination of these specifications. Propriety Specification This type of specification refers to some specific product or its equivalent in its clauses; therefore, it limits the competition and often results in a cost increase. Since the buyer has to accept the product as a "black box", the buyer's risk is much higher than in the other three types of specifications Method Specification This type of specification outlines a specific material selection and construction operation process to be followed by the contractor in providing a product. Since there is no explicit product specified, this type of specification allows competition among various suppliers and contractors; but, because the buyer sets the requirements for materials and methods, the owner has to bear the responsibility of the performance. End-Result Specification The final characteristics of the product are stipulated in the end-result specification and the contractor is given considerable freedom in achieving those characteristics. It may specify a limit or range for any given material and/or construction characteristic. The risk for the contractor or agency depends on how the acceptance limits and processes are specified. Performance Related Specification (PRS) This type of specification holds the contractor responsible for the finished product's performance; thus, the contractor assumes considerable risk for the performance of the finished product. This type of specification is often used in conjunction with some type of warranty. The challenge here is to use "true" performance indicators, which may not be available for all materials and processes. Statistical acceptance specifications tend to provide a more defensible approach to specifying HMA construction than the previously used methods of specification (Muench and Mahoney, 2001).

Book Synopsis The Next Step Toward End-result Specifications for Hot-mix Asphalt Materials and Construction by : Charles S. Hughes
Download or read book The Next Step Toward End-result Specifications for Hot-mix Asphalt Materials and Construction written by Charles S. Hughes and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2000, the Virginia Department of Transportation's (VDOT) Chief Engineer asked the Virginia Transportation Research Council to develop a vision of how and when VDOT would have a working end-result specification for hot-mix asphalt. The response to that question was that it would take several years and many steps to achieve. This report discusses the next step in that ongoing effort, which includes the development and simulated application of two statistical quality assurance (SQA) special provisions, one for asphalt concrete material and the other for asphalt concrete pavement. The criteria for these prototype SQA provisions included the application of standard national terminology and approach, a firm basis in existing VDOT specifications, and quality characteristics that represent the best practical performance measures. This report describes the outcome of a "shadow" application of the proposed SQA specifications to a subset of Virginia's annual maintenance-resurfacing projects. Although the involved production and placement activities were not subject to the requirements of the SQA specifications, the sampling and testing were designed to represent what would have been required had the special provisions been in effect. The study further determined the likely acceptance outcome for each shadow project and explored future modifications to specification limits and pay adjustment criteria. The most desirable benefit from effective end-result specifications stems from the ability to rededicate available inspection to those key production and placement processes (e.g., joint tacking and surface preparation) that cannot be measured upon delivery to the owner/agency. A less desirable, but more tangible, financial benefit results when these specifications permit a reduction in the overall inspection force. One conservative estimate suggests that VDOT could save more than $2 million per year in inspector salaries through an end-result specification for acceptance of hot-mix asphalt pavements

Book Synopsis Electrical Measuring Instruments and Measurements by : S.C. Bhargava
Download or read book Electrical Measuring Instruments and Measurements written by S.C. Bhargava and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2012-12-27 with total page 572 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, written for the benefit of engineering students and practicing engineers alike, is the culmination of the author's four decades of experience related to the subject of electrical measurements, comprising nearly 30 years of experimental research and more than 15 years of teaching at several engineering institutions. The unique feature of this book, apart from covering the syllabi of various universities, is the style of presentation of all important aspects and features of electrical measurements, with neatly and clearly drawn figures, diagrams and colour and b/w photos that illustrate details of instruments among other things, making the text easy to follow and comprehend. Enhancing the chapters are interspersed explanatory comments and, where necessary, footnotes to help better understanding of the chapter contents. Also, each chapter begins with a "recall" to link the subject matter with the related science or phenomenon and fundamental background. The first few chapters of the book comprise "Units, Dimensions and Standards"; "Electricity, Magnetism and Electromagnetism" and "Network Analysis". These topics form the basics of electrical measurements and provide a better understanding of the main topics discussed in later chapters. The last two chapters represent valuable assets of the book, and relate to (a) "Magnetic Measurements", describing many unique features not easily available elsewhere, a good study of which is essential for the design and development of most electric equipment – from motors to transformers and alternators, and (b) "Measurement of Non-electrical Quantities", dealing extensively with the measuring techniques of a number of variables that constitute an important requirement of engineering measurement practices. The book is supplemented by ten appendices covering various aspects dealing with the art and science of electrical measurement and of relevance to some of the topics in main chapters. Other useful features of the book include an elaborate chapter-by-chapter list of symbols, worked examples, exercises and quiz questions at the end of each chapter, and extensive authors' and subject index. This book will be of interest to all students taking courses in electrical measurements as a part of a B.Tech. in electrical engineering. Professionals in the field of electrical engineering will also find the book of use.
