| Abstract | This Field Reference Manual for Quality Concrete Pavements was developed as part of an effort sponsored by FHWA to develop the "state-of-the-practice" for Quality Assurance (QA) of concrete pavements. This goal has been achieved through the development of this document and workshop training materials that provide engineers, inspectors, technicians and constructors a more thorough understanding of QA as it relates to the long-term performance of concrete pavements. Although excellent training courses and workshops are offered by National Highway Institute (NHI) and others, obtaining training through conventional training courses is becoming increasingly difficult because of time and budget constraints. The training materials developed as part of this effort aim at addressing these needs and at providing a link between construction operations and QA. Development of these deliverables required synthesizing existing reference documents and formatting the deliverables in a manner which is easy to understand and clearly communicates the importance of QA activities on the long-term performance of concrete pavements. The resulting workshop materials and Quality Field Reference for Concrete Pavements were designed to provide the end user with the knowledge of why QA is critical to the construction process and also provide the confidence and ability to implement improved QA processes through "real-world" case study examples that were designed to be interactive. |
