Ohrn, L G and Schexnayder, C (1998) Performance-related specifications for highway construction. Journal of Construction Engineering and Management, 124(1), pp. 25-30. ISSN 0733-9364
Abstract
This paper examines the development of performance-related specifications (PRS) in highway construction. Toward that purpose, it attempts to answer questions on what performance-related specifications are and how they differ from traditional specifications. In addition, the advantages and disadvantages of using performance-related specifications are discussed.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
