QUALITY CONTROL IN HIGHWAY CONSTRUCTION

This paper outlines an integrated quality-control system for use in highway engineering and describes certain aspects in detail. As far as the judgement of quality is concerned, the system is equally applicable to acceptance control, where decisions must be taken whether to accept or reject an end product, and to process control, where decisions may have to be taken to modify a product to ensure its compliance with specifications.
