Tóm tắt

Since quality control in expressway construction is generally performed by monitoring during the process of construction, it is difficult to perform a quantitative assessment of the level of quality in reality. In order to solve this problem and improve the level of quality, the Korea Expressway Corporation (KEC) has developed a Quality Performance Index (QPI) that quantitatively assesses the level of quality of the final product, and has practically applied it to a site. By verifying the reliability of the assessment results produced by the QPI, this study provides a basis for the implementation of QPI in assessment of overall quality in construction.
