Abstract:

There is an ongoing discussion about moving toward performance-based specifications for concrete pavements. This document seeks to ; move the discussion forward by outlining the needs and the challenges, and proposing some immediate actions. However, this approach ; may increase risk for all parties until performance requirements are agreed upon and, more importantly, how the requirements can be ; measured. ; A fundamental issue behind pavement construction activities is that the owner/designer needs to be assured that the concrete in place ; will survive for the intended period (assuming there are no changes in the environment or loading) and, therefore, that full payment ; should be made. At the same time, each party along the supply chain needs to be assured that the material being supplied to them is able ; to meet the required performance, as is the product/system they are delivering. ; The focus of this document is a discussion of the issues behind this need, and the technologies that are available, or still needed, to meet ; this need, particularly from the point of view of potential durability.
