Assessing the volumetrics of hot-mix asphalts (HMAs) is an important aspect of quality-
control and quality-assurance procedures. The economic value of HMAs is usually assessed …

Purpose This paper introduces a novel quality measure, the percent-within-distribution, or
PWD, for acceptance and payment in a quality control/quality assurance (QC/QA) …

Road agencies are increasingly incorporating performance-related specifications (PRS) in
construction contracts to specify quality in terms of parameters related to desired long-term …

The goal of this paper is to formalize and validate a model in order to determine a pay
adjustment on the basis of mechanical and functional performance of transportation …

Acceptance procedures are usually defined in terms of the fraction of elements that fall
outside certain specification limits, such as the data dispersion around a central tendency. In …

The performance of road and airport wearing courses does not depend only on their bearing
capacity. Many of the properties and characteristics of a pavement, such as its friction …

Highway agencies have often used quality assurance specifications that specify end product
quality for assuring construction quality. Also, agencies are increasingly incorporating …

Quality control (QC) and quality assurance (QA) attributes of highway construction must be
measured and achieved throughout each project. Statistical specifications are commonly …

Fire resistance of transport surfaces is a crucial aspect, especially in specific contexts such
as road and railway tunnels in urban areas. In fact, tunnels are characterized by specific …
