Preface
This is the ninth edition of the AASHTO
Guide Specifications for Highway Construction
. Thesespecifications have been developed by the AASHTO Subcommittee on
Construction and areintended to complement the specifications for major structures
and bridges, which are covered bythe
AASHTO LRFD Bridge Construction Specifications
.This edition includes four significant changes to these guide specifications.
First, in order toreinforce and clarify the meanings of terms for readers, uniform
terminology is used consistentlythroughout the specifications. Secondly,
elimination of redundant language results in the deletionof some sections and an
increased number of cross-references among the remaining sections.Also, the AASHTO
and ASTM references within the guide specifications have been updated.Finally, this
edition of the guide specifications includes several new sections�Sections
312through 315 address additional base course options; Sections 716 through 718
address materialsrequirements for aluminum, timber, and ground anchors; and
Appendixes A and B providesample technical provisions and considerations for use
with innovative contracting methods and pavement ride quality measurement.The many
differences in climate, geology, geography, customs, statutes, and regulations make
anational construction specification practically impossible. However, to provide
for easier cross-referencing from state to state or with other agencies, this guide
provides uniformity ofnomenclature, format, methods of measurement, basis of
payment, and method of tests. The guidespecifications provide the specification
writer with information and topics to be covered andexpounded on in a detailed
project construction specification.The guide specifications divisions are
subdivided into Description, Materials, ConstructionRequirements, Method of
Measurement, and Basis of Payment. Items shown in brackets, such as[50], throughout
the guide specifications are suggested values and should be changed, whennecessary,
to meet the requirements of the various agencies or project conditions.Some
sections of the guide specifications may be written in a manner to appear as
absolute anddefinite. This is not intended to be the only approach to the content
of the section, but to provide adetailed example of the topic.AASHTO guide
specifications are updated and republished periodically. The updated versions
provide the user with products, systems, and specification topics that have been
used since thelast edition.
