دانلود کتاب Performance-Related Specification for Hot-Mixed Asphalt

This report provides a proposed performance-related specification (PRS) for hot-mix asphalt (HMA) in the form of the Microsoft Windows®-based Quality-Related Specification Software (QRSS). The report details the research performed and illustrates the development of the QRSS and its ability to carry out pay adjustment factor and payment computations by comparing the as-built pavement performance with that of the as-designed pavement. Thus, the report will be of immediate interest to staff of state highway agencies, materials suppliers, and paving contractors with responsibility for specification and construction of HMA pavements.
