"The Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP) H-106 maintenance experiment and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Long-Term Monitoring (LTM) of Pavement Maintenance Materials Test Sites project studied the repair of partialdepth spalls in concrete pavements. The purpose of partial-depth spall repair is to restore a pavement's structural integrity, improve its ride quality, and extend its serviceable life. Highway agencies spend a large amount of time and money annually performing partial-depth spall repairs, both as temporary and permanent fixes. Frequently, the repairs are not made as efficiently as desired or do not perform as long as intended. The primary consequences are added disruption to traffic, more exposure of patching crews to traffic, and additional maintenance expenditures. The purpose of this study, then, was to address the merits and deficiencies of current spall repair materials, designs, and practices. The study evaluated the relative performance of selected patching materials, as well as the effect of selected repair methods. The study also examined repair material properties and tests that correlate well with field performance. This report documents the entire portland cement concrete (PCC) partial-depth spall repair study, including the installation of 30 unique repair types (i.e., combinations of patching material and patching method) at 4 different test sites, the laboratory testing of experimental repair materials, and the 7-year performance monitoring of the various partial-depth repairs. It also discusses the results of comprehensive statistical analyses conducted on material performance and laboratory testing data. The results of a detailed cost-effectiveness analysis are also presented"--Technical report documentation page.
The Strategic Highway Research Program project H-106 is an investigation of the cost-effectiveness of materials, equipments, and procedures used to perform several routine pavement maintenance activities: pothole repair in asphalt pavements, crack treatment in asphalt pavement, joint resealing in portland cement concrete pavement and partial depth spall repair in PCC pavement. Test sites were installed in the United States and Canada. Data collected during installation as well as survival and distress development data collected during subsequent evaluations, have been compiled into one of the most comprehensive data bases on these pavement maintenance topics. While evaluations will contintue to accumulate data, this report presents the results of analyses to date. This volume provides an overview of all 4 repair projects.
Over the concluding decades of the twentieth century, the historic preservation community increasingly turned its attention to modern buildings, including bungalows from the 1930s, gas stations and diners from the 1940s, and office buildings and architectural homes from the 1950s. Conservation efforts, however, were often hampered by a lack of technical information about the products used in these structures, and to fill this gap Twentieth-Century Building Materials was developed by the U.S. Department of the Interior’s National Park Service and first published in 1995. Now, this invaluable guide is being reissued—with a new preface by the book’s original editor. With more than 250 illustrations, including a full-color photographic essay, the volume remains an indispensable reference on the history and conservation of modern building materials. Thirty-seven essays written by leading experts offer insights into the history, manufacturing processes, and uses of a wide range of materials, including glass block, aluminum, plywood, linoleum, and gypsum board. Readers will also learn about how these materials perform over time and discover valuable conservation and repair techniques. Bibliographies and sources for further research complete the volume. The book is intended for a wide range of conservation professionals including architects, engineers, conservators, and material scientists engaged in the conservation of modern buildings, as well as scholars in related disciplines.
