"The overall objectives of this study are to trace the development of a state-of-the-art in specifications for materials and construction methods for asphalt pavements, identify and evaluate requirements that are performance-related, and provide a framework of a system of specifications that will assure higher quality and longer life pavements"--Page 1
Sulfur-Extended-Asphalt (SEA) binders save asphalt, a potential energy source, by replacing some asphalt in conventional flexible pavement mixes with sulfur. These new binders appear to possess properties comparable to asphalt. The guideline manual provides the highway community in both public and private organizations with the most definitive state-of-the-art guidelines extant for using these binders. Information on design, construction, quality control, equipment, mixing plants, specifications, and safety is included.
Excerpt from Specifications for Sheet Asphalt Paving, Adopted October 14, 1915: These Specifications Will Be Modified From Time to Time to Keep Them Fully Up to Date, Suggestions as to Modifications or Additions Are Solicited and Should Be Sent to the Secretary, or to Francis P. Smith, 131-3 East 23d St., New York City, Chairman of T 1. Upon the foundation prepared and laid as elsewhere herein specified, shall be laid the pavement proper. This shall consist of: 1. A binder course ... inches in thickness when compressed. 2. An asphalt wearing surface ... inches in thickness when compressed. Materials. 2. The materials used must comply with the requirements of these specifications and be suitable for use upon the street or streets to be paved. They shall be mixed in definite proportions by weight, depending upon their character, and the traffic upon the street, and such materials and proportions must be satisfactory to the Engineer. 3. Methods of Testing - All tests herein specified must be conducted according to official methods on file in the office of the Engineer. All penetrations at 77 degrees Fahrenheit are expressed in hundredths of a centimeter and are to be taken (except where otherwise specified) with a number two needle acting for five (5) seconds without appreciable friction under a total weight of one hundred (100) grams. 4. Refined Asphalts - The refined asphalts admitted under these specifications shall be prepared from a natural mineral bitumen, either solid or liquid, or from combinations thereof, by such methods of refining as will produce a product complying with the requirements hereinafter given. The preparation and refining of all asphalts admitted under these specifications shall be subject to such inspection at the paving plants and refineries as the Engineer may direct. Every refined asphalt admitted under these specifications, if required by the Engineer, shall be equal in quality to the recognized standard for its particular kind or type of asphalt. If desired, the Contractor may use an asphalt cement prepared at the refinery. To be acceptable this asphalt cement must comply with the foregoing general requirements for refined asphalt, as well as requirements a, b, c, d, and e for asphalt cement.

This synthesis will be of interest to administrators, including contract and specifications administrators; research, construction, materials, specification, and design engineers; agency project managers and staff; and highway construction contractors. It describes the state of the practice with respect to the development and present status of performance-related specifications (PRS) for highway materials and construction. This report of the Transportation Research Board summarizes the historical events that have prompted U.S. interest in PRS development and describes the underlying concepts. In addition, it describes current practice with regard to PRS implementation and refers to the principal PRS literature with emphasis on performance and cost models. It emphasizes the utility of PRS in providing objective/ rational measures that can be used for special contract conditions, such as incentive or disincentive adjustments.
