Asphalt Pavement Construction Update 2013 FTBA Construction Conference Richard Hewitt, PE State Construction Pavement Engineer
Smoothness Developmental Specification
Smoothness Developmental Specification Smoothness Committee Contractor s, FDOT, & FHWA Goals Separate Rolling Straight Edge from Laser Profiler Reward Smoothness Evaluate Ride Quality Use International Roughness Index (IRI) More Performance Spec - Less Method Spec
Smoothness Developmental Specification Pilot Projects Requirements for Dev Spec 330 Approval Interstate/Limited Access Roadway < 150,000 AADT
Pilot Projects Currently 8 pilot projects Ultimately, several pilots in each District
International Roughness Index (IRI) Measured in inches/mile Vertical movement per Distance Traveled Lower is Better Measured using Laser Profiler (laser van) Pilot Projects use SMO vans One day incorporate into CQC system Use IRI to calculate Incentive/Disincentive

Removal & Replacement (R&R) LOT s Continuous Analysis of R&R LOT s so only R&R unacceptable pavement Areas affected by R&R are tested again Use new Incentive/Disincentives for R&R areas affected by R&R
Smoothness Award Smoothest Pavement of the Year Developed Smoothness Awards Limited Access & Primary Roads 55 mph Lowest Average IRI & Lowest Maximum IRI Projects Tested in the Calendar Year ACAF Awarded Plaques Recognizes Outstanding Work
Smoothness Developmental Specification Last Smoothness Committee Meeting - Oct 9 th Reviewed Primary Road Analysis What s Next? Review Interstate Pilot Projects Discuss Primary Road Data & Potential IRI Limits Work on Primary Road Specifications Smoothness Equipment Expo Considering May 6 th in Gainesville Contact Rich Hewitt for: Spec presentation or explanation Review of past project data
Cross Slope
Cross Slope Task Team (SDO, SCO, SMO, & Contractors) Cross Slope Constructability & Typical Sections Provided Training at last Design Expo Worked with SDO & they ve made PPM changes so Typical Sections contain Intent of milling & paving scenario Control points & slope when mill or pave for slope More explicit design intent & construction info
Match Existing Milling Mill for depth in accordance with Plans & Specifications Paving Spread rate in accordance with Plans & Specifications Smoothness Meet surface requirements of Specifications (Laser or RSE) Measure Cross Slope after Milling Measure Cross Slope after Paving Cross slopes are for informational purposes
Design Expo 2013 June 12-14, 2013 Omni Hotel & Resort 1500 Masters Blvd Champions Gate, Orlando Provide cross slope presentation again Laser van presentation Working on having milling & paving equipment & representatives on site
CTQM Changes
Strikes Strike Expiration Strikes Expire 1 Year after Strike 1 Currently 1 year after Strike 1 or Strike 2
Expiration Date & Requalification Requalify 48 th month or after New Expiration Date = Current Exp. Date + 5 Years Requalify before 48 th month 5 years is added to date all requirements are met Typically the date of requalification exam Expiration Date Extensions Only for extreme or emergency cases
Specification Change Overbuild Spec change Allowed to Taper to Zero for 9.5 and 12.5 mixes Provided 1.5 dense mix above it July 2013 Specs
Older Specifications Asphalt on bridge decks & approach slabs Static compaction only Added by Structures to Jan 2009 Workbook Due to Spec reevaluation after I-35W bridge collapse in Minnesota
