Monograph

This issue contains eighteen papers concerned with construction. The papers have been categorized into six parts. Part 1 covers construction management and includes five papers on economic haul radius, alternative technical concepts, preliminary engineering funding, consultant oversight of construction engineering and inspection services, and schedule-related incentives and disincentives. Part 2 discusses project delivery and includes six papers on performance-based warranty contracts for pavement markings, cost and schedule performance benchmarks of public-private partnership projects, early contractor involvement and financial performance, U.S. partnering programs and international partnering contracts and alliances, implementation of alternative technical concepts, and quality management approaches to design-build projects. Part 3 covers quality management and includes one paper on the relationship between surface profile characteristics and the need for localized roughness correction. Part 4 addresses Portland cement concrete pavement and includes three papers on roller-compacted concrete for testing under accelerated loading, dowel alignment testing and specification, and curing effectiveness. Part 5 addresses asphalt pavement and includes two papers that discuss asphalt concrete field compactibility and density tests for thin hot-mix asphalt overlays. Part 6 covers bridges and structures and includes one paper on a structural health monitoring system.
