As an important part of the asphalt pavement construction, quality control is directly related to the life of road. In view of the non-uniformity issues in asphalt mixture production and construction processes, depending on the segregation standards in asphalt pavement testing, the universal volumetric chart is used to control the asphalt mixture’s volume indexes in this paper. And a PQI (pavement quality indicator) is used to make a non-destructive inspection of the pavement density. Finally, the controlling and monitoring system from asphalt mixture production to asphalt pavement construction and applying software with asphalt pavement construction quality control and quality assurance in the platform of MATLAB are developed in this paper. According to the field application, the system and software developed in this paper could be well used in the asphalt pavement construction quality control.

<p>High level of quality during design, design-build and construction stages is a fundamental requirement to ensure that structure serves its intended purpose. Establishment of a quality assurance manual is prime necessity. Lack of quality control during design, review and approving design drawings are major reasons for structural failures. Designers and design checkers need to work in tandem to ensure more adequate Quality Assurance &amp; Control (QA/QC).</p><p>In structural design Durability is a key parameter and becomes critical for service life of 100/120 years. In design build and construction stages controlling work quality is important to maintain performance standards. Tailor made quality plan for Design-build Contract is essential. Quality procedures, inspection and testing needs implementation in practice to verify full compliance and prevent occurrence of faults and defects towards durability and service life. This paper deals with Quality with special emphasis on durability in design and construction through case studies of design build contracts.</p>
