National Ready Mixed Concrete Association

"Preparation of a Performance-based Specification for Cast-in-Place Concrete" includes a comprehensive review of worldwide performance-based specifications and recommendations for transitioning the industry toward their use. "Experimental Case Study Demonstrating Advantages of Performance Specifications" includes technical data from a side-by-side comparison of prescriptive concrete mixtures and performance-based mixtures.

The P2P Steering Committee and the National Ready Mixed Concrete Association's (NRMCA) Research and Engineering Standards Committee, the group that has spearheaded the P2P movement, reviewed both projects.
