Addressing the interactions between the different design and construction variables and techniques this book illustrates best practices for constructing economical, long life concrete pavements. The book proceeds in much the same way as a pavement construction project. First, different alternatives for concrete pavement solutions are outlined. The desired performance and behaviour parameters are identified. Next, appropriate materials are outlined and the most suitable concrete proportions determined. The design can be completed, and then the necessary construction steps for translating the design into a durable facility are carried out. Although the focus reflects highways as the most common application, special features of airport, industrial, and light duty pavements are also addressed. Use is made of modeling and performance tools such as HIPERPAV and LTPP to illustrate behavior and performance, along with some case studies. As concrete pavements are more complex than they seem, and the costs of mistakes or of over-design can be high, this is a valuable book for engineers in both the public and private sectors.
Introductory technical guidance for civil engineers and construction managers interested in thin concrete overlays for street and highway pavements. Here is what is discussed: 1. INTRODUCTION, 2. OVERVIEW OF THIN CONCRETE OVERLAYS, 3. DESIGN OF THIN CONCRETE OVERLAYS, 4. CONSTRUCTION OF THIN CONCRETE OVERLAYS, 5. COST, 6. CASE STUDIES, 7. SUMMARY.
Field load testing was conducted by CTL at five sites in Iowa during April 1986. This report presents the results of field testing, analysis of results, and recommendations to incorporate study results in Iowa's design procedure for bonded concrete overlays.
The Demonstration Projects Division of the Federal Highway Administration has been involved in the evaluation of a number of thin-bonded overlays since 1979. This report presents the status of those projects and includes a summary of some of the more important findings to date.
