When quality assurance specifications came into use in the late 1960s, the goal was to improve them to a level such that they would become performance-related specifications (PRS). Now, more than 30 years later, PRS for concrete pavements are at a point where State highway agencies are finally able to implement them. This article looks at the development of PRS over the past 30+ years, aims to better define PRS, and discusses benefits to be gained from PRS such as expected lower project life-cycle costs. |
