Download or read book End result Smoothness Specifications for Rigid and Flexible Pavements in Texas written by Dimitrios G. Goulias and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report focuses on the development of a methodology for determining an end-result smoothness specification for use on newly constructed flexible and rigid pavements. Details of the experimental study and data analysis undertaken to define acceptance levels using several criteria are presented, along with necessary guide-lines that can be used for the training of personnel involved in the implementation of the smoothness specifications. Finally, the report correlates profile index with other roughness indices.

This book was released on 1991 with total page 55 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Because both the highway agency and the traveling public desire a smooth pavement surface, there exists a need to ensure smoothness and ride quality. Indeed, a smooth road profile has become a standard measure of pavement quality. This report details the initial work on pavement smoothness criteria, including in particular the issues related to financial incentives and the instrumentation used for measuring profiles on newly laid rigid pavements.

Download or read book Variability in Highway Pavement Construction written by Charles S. Hughes and published by Transportation Research Board. This book was released on 1996 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This synthesis will be of interest to state DOT construction, materials, statistical, specification, and inspection engineers; DOT research staff; pavement construction material suppliers; highway construction contractors; and civil engineering consulting firms, including field and laboratory materials testing personnel. The synthesis describes the state of the practice for defining and measuring variability in highway pavement construction. Data obtained from a review of the literature, a survey of state departments of transportation (DOTs), and discussions with selected state DOT personnel and private materials producers are presented. This report of the Transportation Research Board defines several measures of variability but concentrates on the use of standard deviation as the usual measure of variability. The synthesis updates reported typical variabilities found in materials and construction specifications. Also included are discussions of current research activities as related to variability, how variability can be used in the development of specification limits, the use of incentives and disincentives in specifications, and the need for additional information on the variability of several materials and construction processes.

Download or read book Pavement Smoothness Index Relationships written by Kelly L. Smith and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nearly all State highway agencies use smoothness specifications to ensure that hot-mix asphalt (HMA) and portland cement concrete (PCC) pavements are built to high levels of smoothness. About half of all current State smoothness specifications for HMA and more then three-fourths of all current PCC smoothness specifications are centered around the Profile Index (PI), as often measured using a profilograph. The vast majority of these specifications utilize a 5-mm (0.2-in.) blanking band in computing PI (i.e., PI5-mm). Assistance in selecting appropriate IRI and PI0.0 specification limits is needed to provide a basis for modifying current specifications to these more reproducible and portable smoothness indices. This research effort has developed a series of relationships between IRI and PI that can assist States in transitioning to IRI or PI0.0 smoothness specification for HMA and PCC pavements.
