DOWNLOAD EBOOKProject 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.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKConsiderable efforts and money are spent to maintain and repair the distressed jointed concrete pavement (JCP) sections by providing partial-/full-depth repair, under sealing, and patching; however, a lot of distresses reoccur frequently. For severe distresses, overlay was constructed on the JCP. Resurfacing with a bonded concrete overlay (BCO) over the existing pavement to form a monolithic structure has proven to be a cost-effective rehabilitation strategy. Continuously reinforced concrete pavement (CRCP) bonded overlay was constructed for the rehabilitation of a 2000 ft long JCP section on U.S.75 in Sherman, Texas, United States which had been subjected to numerous rehabilitations to construct the guidelines of the CRCP bonded overlay. The pavement design and concrete mix design selected are discussed and introduced in this article. In order to reduce the reflective cracking at the location of the JCP joints, geotextile was placed at the joint location before the overlay construction. For the study on the function of the geotextile, the geotextile was not placed at 20 JCP joints for the comparison. One week after the BCO construction, the investigation for the CRCP cracking was carried out at three stages. The investigated results revealed that the cracks at the transverse steel location are much more than those between the transverse steel. Falling weight deflectometer testing was run on the pavement surface before and after the overlay construction to measure the deflection behavior of the pavement. The performance of the overlay shows that the bonded CRCP is appropriate for the JCP resurfacing.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKPropagation of cracks from existing pavements into a new asphalt concrete overlay (reflective cracking) is a major problem for both rigid and flexible pavements. Reflective cracking in pavements compromises ride quality and reduces the service life of the pavement. Reflective cracking of the asphalt layer over jointed concrete pavement is a perennial problem in Virginia and elsewhere. State transportation agencies continue to try various available treatment methods to delay or prevent reflective cracking with corrective or restorative maintenance. Some of those treatments include using paving fabric as an interlayer. Virginia has anecdotal experience with paving fabric interlayers, but little well-documented history with which to assess performance. The objective of this study was to establish a performance baseline for fabric interlayers in conjunction with asphalt concrete overlays on existing flexible, rigid, and composite pavements by documenting the installation and initial field performance of several projects in Virginia. Two types of interlayer fabric were used. One of the interlayers needed an asphalt leveling course for placement based on the manufacturer's specifications. As expected, all of the sections with interlayers are performing well. However, most of the sections were placed in 2017 and 2018, and hence the performance data are preliminary. These sections need to be monitored continuously to track pavement distress and performance over time. The cost of using interlayers in pavement ranged from 6 .0 dollars to 8 .0 dollars per square yard, depending on the type of fabric and installation method. Long-term performance data are needed to assess the benefit-cost effectiveness of using paving fabric interlayers in pavements.
