Impact of Incentive/Disincentive Specifications on Long-Term Asphalt Pavement Performance

The basic premise of statistically-based incentive/disincentive specifications is that the long-term performance of a pavement is related to certain quality characteristics. However, the robustness of such a relationship is not always definitive. One also cannot ascertain whether such specifications are cost-effective. Consequently, the present study is being initiated with the primary objective of determining the level of impact that incentive/disincentive specifications have, in terms of CPF, on the long-term performance of asphalt pavements.
