"The construction, maintenance, and operation of transportation infrastructure requires immense amounts of products and materials. New products, materials, engineered systems, and innovative technologies are presented to state departments of transportation (DOTs) by suppliers and manufacturers, as well as sometimes by contractors and internal DOT staff. NCHRP Synthesis 616: State DOT Product Evaluation Processes, from TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program, documents current state DOT practices, funding, policies, management techniques, tools, and workflows of product evaluation processes. Supplemental to the report is a dataset of various administrative documents from different state DOTs."--publisher's website
TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Synthesis 328: State Product Evaluation Programs examines the general use of evaluation programs within state departments of transportation (including the use of state specifications, and laboratory and field testing results), the national programs that exist to support the integration of new products and technologies into practice, and the general issues associated with conducting objective evaluations of new products and implementation of approved products.
This synthesis will be of interest to state Department of Transportation (DOT) materials and construction engineers; contract, procedure, and specification specialists; construction personnel managers; researchers; and private consultants. The synthesis describes the current state of the practice of state DOT management techniques for materials and construction acceptance, including approaches to inspection and testing. The associated requirements for maintaining adequate qualified personnel to operate the acceptance and testing programs are considered in the information reported. The information was collected by surveying state DOTs and by conducting a literature search. This report of the Transportation Research Board presents background information on the changing role of specifications, quality assurance processes, warranties, material certifications, and personnel management regarding the state of the practice for state DOT management techniques for materials and construction acceptance. In addition, detailed information is presented on personnel issues. The details of materials test methods and statistical quality control procedures are not included in the report. However, discussion of these technical aspects of materials and construction acceptance are included on the basis of their influence on personnel training requirements, and changes in administrative requirements.
Not a set of standards and practices, but a description of the Center's program, and advice on how manufacturers of retaining walls and other systems can take part in it. Discusses the background, the panel and consultant, evaluation methodology, program requirements, and deliverables. No index. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
