• Abstract:
  The Center for Transportation Research (CTR) performed a systematic review of applicable specifications in the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) standard specifications book, "Standard Specifications for Construction and Maintenance of Highways, Streets, and Bridges," and those subsequently adopted Special Specifications that may be applicable to airport construction. This work continued the efforts begun under Project 2920, which was aimed at securing Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) approval of revised asphalt and base material specifications for general aviation airport construction. Existing TxDOT highway specifications were evaluated to determine if any current specifications would improve the performance or reduce the costs of airport construction. Revised specifications were prepared based on laboratory testing, current existing specifications, and input from industry representatives. Initially, a series of meetings were held with the Project Director, FAA representatives, a TxDOT advisory committee, and consulting engineers experienced in construction of general aviation airports. The specifications under consideration were identified by item number and prioritized for study. Corresponding FM specifications were identified for inclusion into the evaluation and comparison study.
