METHOD TO MODEL PERFORMANCE RELATIONSHIPS AND PAY SCHEDULES
Performance-related specifications require mathematical models to link construction quality to expected life and, ultimately, to value expressed in the form of pay schedules. Although ongoing research efforts continue to advance the state of the art, the type of data needed to develop accurate and precise models may not become available for several years. In the interim, present engineering and mathematical knowledge can be used to create rational and practical models that will perform effectively until better models are available. Several examples are presented to illustrate how both analytical data and survey data can be used to develop realistic performance models and pay schedules useful for statistical construction specifications. The issue of the proper method that can be used to combine the effects of multiple deficiencies is also addressed.
