Prescriptive Specifications
The primary goals were (are) to improve the quality of concrete construction, facilitate the use of concrete mixtures optimized for the functional requirements of different applications, and support innovation and sustainable development. The P2P Initiative generated many products and outcomes: *Investigators made a global review of the state of codes and specifications; *Research documented improved performance with minimized- prescription guide specifications-both by minimizing prescription and suggesting performance alternatives; *Discussion items were generated for pre-construction meetings between producers and contractors; *A quality certification program was developed for ready mixed concrete producers; and *An overview of the impact of prescriptive specifications on sustainability was assessed.
