Performance-Based Pavement Warranty Practices
Pavement warranties have been common in the United States at various points in time, coming back into favor during the 1990s. While there is no national pavement warranty standard, agencies have developed their own
specifications with varying criteria.
The TRB National Cooperative Highway Research Program's
NCHRP Synthesis 553: Performance-Based Pavement Warranty Practices
documents highway agency practices associated with the
use of performance-based pavement warranties, focusing on asphalt, concrete, and composite
pavement projects (new, preservation, and rehabilitation) with warranty periods of at least one year.
