... 84 With the increasing agenda for sustainability, the United Kingdom is attempting to move away from the empirical design of pavement foundations to develop a performance-specification approach that facilitates analytical design. The measurement of the subgrade performance parameters of resilient modulus and resistance to permanent deformation is required for analytical design.

From page 103...
... 103 The scope of the analysis in this study is limited to short-term performance warranties in which a contractor performs only preventive maintenance, not rehabilitation, for the most vulnerable -- burn-in -- phase of pavement life cycle. The authors' basis for the modeling presented in this paper is that, from the state agency's point of view, the objective is to find an upper bound on the risk costs that contractors would be allowed to include in a bid in addition to their nonwarranty bid.
