RIBNA has estimated 200 m³ concrete and 800 dowels to complete a concrete paving project. 60 work hours is estimated to make dowel baskets and anchor them to the base course. A slipform paver, in 40 work hours, spreads, consolidates, and finishes the concrete slab. On a study date, 600 dowels in 45 work hours and 120 m³ concrete in 30 work hours are used.

RIBNA has estimated 200 m³ concrete and 800
dowels to complete a concrete paving project. 60
work hours is estimated to make dowel baskets
and anchor them to the base course. A slipform
paver, in 40 work hours, spreads, consolidates,
and finishes the concrete slab. On a study date,
600 dowels in 45 work hours and 120 m³ concrete
in 30 work hours are used.
In the above scenario, the SPI for the project is:
O 0.85
O unknown. more information is required.
O 1.15
O the same as its CPI
