• Abstract:
  The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) is presently using a performance-based specification for hot-mix asphalt concrete pavement. There is a strong interest in determining if other construction items can be converted into this type of specification. The purpose of this report covering the initial phase of the study is to review the experiences of a large number of key states believed to be using these types of specifications, and to review the TxDOT standard specifications in order to recommend candidates for development. Of the nineteen states cooperating in the survey, the majority were willing to provide copies of their specifications to us. Nine have been received so far. Based upon the information developed from these reviews, 13 items have been recommended for consideration by the Department. Based on the action of the Department, the authors will proceed to develop draft specifications for the selected items.
