Abstract:

Current procedures employed by state highway agencies to determine the acceptability of bituminous concrete compaction are discussed. Both statistical and nonstatistical acceptance plans are covered. Statistical acceptance plans can provide a clear indication of the quality levels that are desired and can eliminate disagreements associated with the estimation of construction quality. However, many of the statistical acceptance plans currently in use are inadequate because they are inefficient or statistically unsound or both. In addition, there is a considerable lack of uniformity among acceptance plans and the price adjustment schedules they contain. Specific recommendations are made to improve acceptance plans. Further guidance should become available when more research information is obtained.
