“…For the analysis performed, the ''critical'' depth at which the slope was zero occurred at 2.583 in. (5.7 cm) lift thickness [20]. This finding could relate to the JMF |E Ã | in the QRSS software being based on using the WPE in a Monte Carlo simulation given the design parameters.…”

“…Models derived from nonlinear regression results yielded R-squared values of 0.751 for surface rutting while using four or five variables. Rutting models appear to predict PLD within a small error range to the QRSS-measured data, carry an easily reproduced process, and possess a form which can be used and manipulated for differing projects and locations based on QRSS-prediction databases [20]. For rutting in the surface lift, two trends exist: one for thinner thicknesses and one for thicker thicknesses.…”

“…5. A robust pavement management system is strongly recommended to promote the successful implementation of a PRS tool like the QRSS, particularly when the implementation includes pavement rehabilitation efforts [20]. It is recommended that the assumptions made in modeling flexible overlays should be based on: (1) localized review of pavement condition surveys;…”

“…Compulsory properties are those properties that are strictly necessary in relation to safety: structural properties, roughness, friction, and texture. The structural properties can be analyzed according to the MEPDG (13,14), the AASHTO Guide 1993 (11,12), or many other models (17)(18)(19). Consequently, the structural and material properties of an as-constructed (AC) surface course will imply a given expected structural life, as predicted by mechanistic-empirical models (E M ) (20,21).…”

The performance of low-volume roads depends mainly on layer-bearing capacity and surface properties (friction, drainability, and acoustic absorption). Furthermore, in many projects different layers are constructed by different contractors. Thus, research is needed to develop reliable contracts and acceptance criteria for pavements, taking into account a variety of characteristics and layers. The goal of the study described in this paper was twofold: (a) to set up a method (algorithm) well-grounded in logic and based on life-cycle cost analysis to derive pay adjustments (PAs), that is, penalties or bonuses, when multiple layers, qualities, or both can be defective and (b) to derive a new set of equations for the straightforward derivation of PAs from position indicators (i.e., averages) to synergistically meet practitioners' needs and allow for advanced approaches. A method based on life-cycle cost analysis and the superposition principle was formulated and applied. It can also be applied to low-volume roads (for which environmental issues can suggest the use of innovative solutions and premium surfaces, for example, porous asphalt concretes) and high-volume roads. The model presented provides a straightforward process that comes complete with a full array of equations tailored specifically for practitioners. Analyses and applications have demonstrated that the model is able to provide a solution that is well-grounded in logic, even in cases in which more layers and premium characteristics are involved.

“…To develop PRS, the reliable performanceprediction models and maintenance cost models are needed. Although a number of research studies have been conducted (Anderson, Luhr, Antle, Siddiqui, & Fernando, 1990;Epps et al, 2002;Mensching, McCarthy, Mehta, Albert, & Moulthrop, 2013;Popescu & Monismith, 2006;Shook, Diaz, Stroup-Gardiner, & Seeds, 1992;Solaimanian, Kennedy, & Lin, 1998), only a few agencies have implemented it into the real practice due to the lack of agency-specific data.…”

The objective of this study is to develop performance-related pay adjustment (PA) for in-place air void of asphalt pavements using pavement management data and life-cycle cost analysis (LCCA). In-place air void data were collected from quality assurance (QA) records for a large number of projects constructed in New Jersey from 1995 to 2005. Pavement condition index data were extracted from pavement management database for the pavement sections where air void data were available. Empirical pavement performance models were developed with sigmoidal functions and used to predict pavement service life. An exponential model form was used to relate the expected pavement service life to the quality measures of in-place air voids. After the rationality of the model was checked, LCCA was performed to derive the PA using different analysis periods and maintenance strategies. Monte Carlo simulations were conducted to capture the variation of PA due to the uncertainty of overlay service life. The PA could be significantly affected by the maintenance strategy if it is estimated using the short analysis period with single overlay, while the PA calculated using the infinite analysis period provides a conservative boundary that is not sensitive to the maintenance strategy. The developed LCCA framework provides the flexibility of determining the PA based on state agencies' practice on QA and pavement maintenance.
