Project ID:	FHWA-PROJ-13-0020
Project Name:	Develop and Deploy End-Result/Performance-Based Specifications for Pavement Construction
Status:	Proposed
Contact:	Last Name: Duval First Name: Richard Telephone: 202-493-3365 E-mail: Richard.DUVAL@dot.gov
Organization:	Federal Highway Administration - Turner-Fairbank Highway Research Center (TFHRC)
Office:	Office of Infrastructure Research and Development
Team:	Pavement Design and Construction Team
Roadmap/Focus area(s):	Infrastructure Research and Technology Strategic Plan and Roadmap
Project Description:	Develop guide performance specifications for jointed plain concrete pavement (JPCP) once outcomes from related studies are completed.
Laboratories:	Not Applicable
Start Date:	August 15, 2013
End Date:	August 15, 2016
Funding Amount:	$0.00
FHWA Program Name:	IRT (Infrastructure Research and Technology)
Goals:	Further develop and field validate performance-related specifications for both asphalt and concrete pavements. This effort is intended to build off earlier Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) projects and the SHRP (State Highway Research Program) 2 R07 project, which focuses on performance-related specification. The objectives will be based on the outcomes from the hot-mix asphalt (HMA) (FHWA PROJ 08-0002) and jointed plain concrete pavement (JPCP) (FHWA PROJ O8-0043) studies. It will address some of the gaps identified as the products of SHRP2 R07 move into implementation.
