TRB Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, No. 2040 includes 14 papers that explore 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, and the value of pavement smoothness. This issue of the TRR also examines the 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.
