Monograph

This collection of 14 papers is concerned with construction. Specific topics discussed include the following: construction management, including early contractor involvement and target pricing, determining incentive and disincentive amounts, and range imaging; quality assurance of hot mix asphalt concrete; comparison of quality assurance test results of contractors and state transportation agencies when testing mat density of hot mix asphalt concrete; the value of pavement smoothness; launching of the San Cristobal bridge; roller compacted concrete shoulder construction; laboratory evaluation of alternative dowel bars for concrete pavements; warm mix asphalt technology; effect of performance warranties on cost and quality of asphalt pavements; debonding in rich bottom pavement; achieving 4% air voids with superpave; and calibration of nonnuclear density gauge data.
