Performance-Related Specifications for Concrete Pavements. Volume 3. Appendix D-Laboratory Testing Procedures and Testing Results. Appendix E-Review of Recent Studies and Specifications
The study continued the development of performance-related specifications (PRS) for concrete pavements. Drawing upon previous work, a prototype PRS was developed that considers the expected life-cycle cost of the as-constructed pavement as the overall measure of quality. The approach calls for measurement of in situ concrete properties and explicitly considers variability and multiple quality characteristics in the determination of pay adjustments. Extensive laboratory testing was conducted to determine material relationships needed in the prototype PRS, and a detailed test plan has been developed for the evaluation of construction variables (e.g., dowel misalignment) that significantly affect concrete pavement performance, but are not currently accounted for in the specification. A computer program, PaveSpec, has been developed for use with the specification in simulation and in generating pay adjustments. The volume contains additional supporting documentation for the research study. Appendix D describes the laboratory testing that was conducted under this study for use in the development of the prototype PRS. The various laboratory tests are described, and a summary of the data is included in both tabular and graphical form. Appendix E contains a summary of several key studies that have been conducted on performance-related specifications, and presents a summary of several specifications that incorporate PRS concepts to some extent. This volume is the third in a series.
