Guide for Implementing Performance Specifications
The objective of this research is to develop a guide to assist state DOTs and industry in implementing performance specifications for asphalt pavements and portland/alternative cement concrete. The research shall focus on the integration of tests and procedures used in performance specifications into QA systems. The guide shall specifically address, but not be limited to, implementation activities such as using pilot projects and shadow specifications, establishing appropriate control and specification limits, gaining buy-in from agency and industry personnel, and managing risk.
