“…It is for this reason, therefore, that provisional target values have been attached at this time. It is recognized that this is in contrast to the PCC pavement PRS [Darter et al, 1996], where no target values are specified for quality characteristics. The members of the Focus Group for Task 3.2.1 have approved the above list.…”

“…As is the case in the PRS developed for PCC pavements [Darter et al, 1996], it is proposed that the parameters driving the current specification should be in the form of distress indicators. Based on information reported in the literature and an extensive survey carried out among 38 state DOTs (see Task 3.1.1 for details), a provisional list of material-related distress indicators for the current project is given below:…”

IntroductionThe development of Performance Related Specifications (PRS) requires the identification of key performance levels for a given structural system. The first attempt to develop a methodology for PRS can be traced to 1980 when the Federal Highway administration (FHWA) instituted a new research program category. The main two objectives of the program were: 1) To provide a more rational basis for payment reduction plans. 2) To develop additional specifications related to the performance of flexible and rigid pavement structures. In the early and mid-1980s, the FHWA, the National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP), and the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) began a cooperative effort searching for supporting data needed for the development of PRS. The idea was to develop performance models that would allow relating the material and construction testing parameters collected at the time of construction to the future performance of the complete project. However, it was concluded that the existing databases were inadequate to derive the needed performance models. A known example of a PRS is the one developed for Portland Cement Concrete (PCC) pavements by Eres Consultants, Inc. and the FHWA (Darter et. al., 1998) in a cooperative effort. In this study, the overall objectives of a methodology for PRS were not completely fulfilled due to the lack of adequate supporting information in the existent databases to construct accurate performance predictive models. As a result, the proposed PRS was presented only as a methodology providing a more rational basis for payment plans.The objective of the research study was to develop the essential components of a PRS for concrete bridge superstructures for application in the state of Indiana. The work conducted in this research project is presented in four volumes. Volume 1 summarizes the work conducted on the identification of performance levels and key parameters, and the development of acceptance criteria are addressed in Volume 1. The main objective of this volume is to present a proposed methodology for a PRS for concrete bridge superstructures. Volume 2 presents the research findings dealing with development of HighPerformance Concrete (HPC) for applications in the bridge structures in the state of Indiana. The objective of the study presented in Volume 2 was to identify and develop concrete mixtures with adequate performance characteristics in terms of durability for the purpose of using these characteristics in performance-related specifications. Volume 3 summarizes the work conducted to investigate the behavior of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) reinforced concrete structures with an emphasis on bond and shear. The main objective of this volume is to provide design guidelines for the use of FRP reinforcement in bridge superstructures. Volume 4 summarizes the results of an evaluation of the bond performance of epoxycoated bars with a coating thickness up to 18 mils. In this study emphasis has been placed on the deve...
