Repair of Continuously Reinforced Concrete Pavement


Book Description

This report details the results of an in-depth study of methods and costs of repairing failures in continuously reinforced concrete pavement. The study was conducted in 1977 by teams of Engineers from four States: Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas. Similarities were revealed in the methods of repair used by maintenance personnel in the four States. Subtle differences were also discovered which can be considered for implementation by all of the participants and others to improve their maintenance techniques.




Repair and Preventative Maintenance Procedures for Continuously Reinforced Concrete Pavement


Book Description

Procedures for permanently patching and for pressure grouting of continuously reinforced concrete pavement have been developed. These procedures have been extensively field tested to ensure their practicality and adequacy. The patching procedures reduce costs and lane closure time by considering the different distress types, different methods of construction, and concrete additive and curing for early opening. The pressure grouting procedures provide for a restoration of support beneath the slab and the prevention of future pumping.




Construction Handbook on PCC Pavement Rehabilitation


Book Description

This aim of this handbook is to assist U.S. Federal Highway Administration area engineers when they make highway construction inspections. It can also be used when reviewing specifications, supplemental specifications, and special provisions during the PS & E stage of a project. Information contained herein is a guide and is not intended as a standard. The number of different rehabilitation techniques covered in this handbook are limited at this time. Additional construction techniques for rehabilitating rigid and flexible pavements will be added and the handbook expanded at a later date.




Failure and Repair of Continuously Reinforced Concrete Pavement


Book Description

The performance of CRCP has revealed a number of failure modes that are traceable to design, construction, materials, and maintenance deficiencies and such other factors as environemntal conditions and traffic loadings. This report of the Transportation Research Board includes a review of the cumulative experiences of state that have constructed and maintained CRCP. Guidelines for repair techniques are included, and areas of needed research are identified.







Using Existing Pavement in Place and Achieving Long Life


Book Description

This report from the second Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP 2), which is administered by the Transportation Research Board of the National Academies, focuses on improving the ability of highway agencies to design and construct long-lasting highway projects with minimal disruption to the traveling public.
