PPRC14 SPE 3.33: Simplified Performance Based Specifications for AC Long Life Projects

The objective of this project is to complete the development of simplified asphalt mix design procedures and specification preparation for Asphalt Concrete (AC) long life projects that are easier for contractors and districts to understand and communicate on, but do not increase the risk of poor performance to California Department of Transportation (Caltrans). Evaluate revised specifications and procedures on new AC long life projects. Support Caltrans on implementation and training.
