Abstract:

The evolution of a statistically based specification for bituminous mix in New Jersey is reviewed. How five producers of asphalt mix dealt with the specification and their various attitudes and approaches toward design and quality control are discussed. An overview is presented of studies by the New Jersey Department of Transportation of projects run under the specification. Particular problems with the specification encountered by both the producer and the state are cited. Revisions to the specification that were used in an effort to correct the various problems are outlined. Finally, a critique is given of the specification as it evolved and as it stands today. /Author/
