THE CONSTRUCTIBILITY REVIEW PROCESS: A CONSTRUCTOR'S PERSPECTIVE. DISCUSSION

A discussion of a paper with the aforementioned title by R. Mendelsohn, published in this journal (Volume 13, Number 3, May/June 1997), is presented. The discussion reviews a research project conducted by the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) through the Department of Civil Engineering at the University of Washington that confirmed the author's experiences and reflected his recommendations. A unique aspect of the WSDOT study and definition of constructibility was that it also focused on maintenance and the application of maintenance knowledge during the design process.
