National Technical Reports Library

The National Technical Information Service acquires, indexes, abstracts, and archives the largest collection of U.S. government-sponsored technical reports in existence. The NTRL offers online, free and open access to these authenticated government technical reports. Technical reports and documents in its repository may be available online for free either from the issuing federal agency, the U.S. Government Publishing Office’s Federal Digital System website, or through search engines.

Measurement and Specification of Construction Quality, Volume 1.

PB2002102150

Publication Date	2000
Personal Author	Hughes, C. S.; Simpson, A. L.; Cominsky, R.; Pendleton, O. J.; Weed, R. M.; Wilson, T.
Page Count	190
Abstract	This study consisted of testing six projects: three hot-mix asphalt concrete (HMAC) and three portland cement concrete (PCC). The primary objectives were to: (1) determine how current quality control test results vary in construction projects and how this varability affects pavement performance, (2) assess the suitability of current methods of quantifying materials and construction quality and quality variability, and (3) develop and improve methods that minimize current shortcomings. Volume 1 of this report contains information about the data analysis. Volume II provides information about the data collected and use of the ground penetrating radar to determine thickness of the pavement. Volume II also contains univariate data on each of the tests performed on samples taken from the six projects in this study.
