PaveSpec 3.0 Software
Paving the Way to Better Roads
Abstract
Through the use of PaveSpec 3.0, State and local highway/ transportation agencies can develop performance-related specifications (PRS) and predict the performance of a constructed pavement. In addition, PaveSpec 3.0 can be used as a technology transfer tool to enable both contractors and highway agencies to get a better understanding of what it takes to construct highway performance pavements. Some of PaveSpec 3.0's specific capabilities include:
Simulation of pavement in terms of (1) transverse cracking, (2) transverse joint faulting, (3) transverse joint spalling, and (4) pavement smoothness over time.
Application of a user-defined maintenance and rehabilitation plan to compute life-cycle costs.
Development of pay factors charts for the following acceptance quality characteristics: (1) strength, (2) thickness, (3) air content, (4) smoothness, and (5) consolidation around dowels.
Computation of contractor pay factors from actual construction test results for the above five acceptance quality characteristics.
Assistance in executing sensitivity analyses on a given developed PRS.
