Performance Report on Jointed Concrete Pavement Repair Strategies in Texas


Book Description

Project 0-4517 was established to summarize the results from the Lufkin experiment on US 59 and to develop statewide guidelines on how to select rehabilitation strategies for jointed concrete pavements (JCP). This year 1 report reviews the performance of the six experimental sections on US 59 and makes recommendations for statewide implementation. The best performing section in Lufkin was the flexible base overlay, which involved placing high-quality crushed limestone directly over the JCP followed by an underseal and thin asphalt overlay. This was also one of the least expensive treatments used in the experiment. The large stone mix also gave good performance, but the crack and seat and full-depth repair techniques did not perform well. A forensic investigation was conducted to attempt to explain the variation in treatment performance. To complement the Lufkin results, a review is also presented of the performance of other JCP rehabilitation techniques recently evaluated by TxDOT districts. An evaluation of crack retarding asphalt layers (Strata(R)), grid layers (GlasGrid(R)) and slab fracturing techniques is also included in the report.
