Consider the following four specifications. For each identify if they are method, performance-related end-result or performance specifications and state why. a. The elastomer sealant must comply with the requirements shown in the following table: Quality characteristic Tensile strength (min, psi) Ultimate elongation (min, %) Compression set (max, %, 22 hours at 70 °C) Tear strength (min, kN/m) Hardness, Type A (points) Ozone resistance (20% strain, 100 hours at 40 ± 2 °C) Instantaneous thermal stiffening at -40 °C Low temperature brittleness at -40 °C Test method ASTM D412 ASTM D412 ASTM D395, Method B ASTM D624, Die C ASTM D2240 with 2 kg mass ASTM D1149 except 10020 parts per 100,000,000 ASTM D1043 ASTM D746, Section 9.1.2 Requirement b. 51-1.03E(7) Drains in Walls 2,250 350 25 31.5 55 +5 No cracks Not more than 4 times the stiffness measured at 23 °C Pass Where shown, construct drain holes and weep holes in abutment walls, wingwalls, and retaining walls. Cover retaining wall and abutment wall drains at the back face of the wall with 1/4-inch mesh, 0.025-inch diameter aluminum or galvanized steel wire hardware cloth. Mount hardware cloth in forms before pouring concrete or fasten the cloth to the exterior concrete surface with masonry nails. In addition to wall drains, install hydrostatic pressure relief holes 3 inches in diameter at the bottom of walls immediately above footings at approximately 15-foot centers. 95% of the ten in-place density measurements taken per 1,000 ton lot of asphalt concrete must be above 92% of the mean maximum mix density found by the Engineer. d. All segments of the road in the network with a roughness greater than 100 inches/mile as measured by the state standard test method for International Roughness Index will be restored to a roughness of less than 100 inches/mile by the contractor within two months after completion of the annual roughness survey during the course of the five year contract period. C. Consider the following four specifications. For each identify if they are method, performance-related end-result or performance specifications and state why. a.
