Design, Construction, and Maintenance of PCC Pavement Joints


Book Description

This synthesis report will be of special interest to pavement engineers and pavement construction and maintenance personnel responsible for portland cement concrete (PCC) pavement joints. Still pertinent information from NCHRP Synthesis 19 (1973), as well as new or updated information in the areas of joint design, construction, and maintenance are included. This report of the Transportation Research Board records the state of the practice with respect to the design, construction, and maintenance of PCC pavement joints. In addition, information on joint materials and sealing, the control of water on and in pavements, and the evaluation of pavement joint performance is provided.




Structural Overlay Strategies for Jointed Concrete Pavements


Book Description

A major field study and evaluation has been conducted into the effectiveness of three structural overlay types for portland cement concrete (PCC) pavements. These include sawing and sealing asphalt concrete (AC) overlays of PCC pavements, cracking and seating PCC pavements prior to AC overlay, and constructing a thin bonded PCC overlay on top of the existing PCC pavement. Condition surveys, deflection testing, and roughness measurements were performed on a total of 55 sections. The performance of these sections was evaluated and the effectiveness of each overlay type analyzed.

Gravel Roads


Book Description

The purpose of this manual is to provide clear and helpful information for maintaining gravel roads. Very little technical help is available to small agencies that are responsible for managing these roads. Gravel road maintenance has traditionally been "more of an art than a science" and very few formal standards exist. This manual contains guidelines to help answer the questions that arise concerning gravel road maintenance such as: What is enough surface crown? What is too much? What causes corrugation? The information is as nontechnical as possible without sacrificing clear guidelines and instructions on how to do the job right.










Engineering and Design


Book Description

This manual provides guidance on evaluating the condition of the concrete in a structure, relating the condition of the concrete to the underlying cause or causes of that condition, selecting an appropriate repair material and method for any deficiency found, and using the selected materials and methods to repair or rehabilitate the structure. Guidance is also included on maintenance of concrete and on preparation of concrete investigation reports for repair and rehabilitation projects. Considerations for certain specialized types of rehabilitation projects are also given.
