Two previous studies on the survival of bare and asphalt-overlaid concrete pavements on the Illinois Interstate highway system were updated to reflect the performance of the pavements through 1991. The Illinois Interstate system consists of about 1750 miles of 10-inch jointed reinforced concrete pavement ORCP) and continuously reinforced concrete pavement (CRCP) ranging in thickness from 7 to 10 inches. As of 1991, about 60 percent of these pavements had been overlaid with asphalt concrete (AC), ranging in thickness from 1.5 to 6 inches. Data for the survival analysis were retrieved from the Illinois Pavement Feedback System database. Both in-service life and accumulated 18-kip ESALs at rehabilitation were estimated for bare pavements categorized by type, thickness, and D cracking susceptibility, and for overlaid pavements categorized by overlay thickness, overlaid pavement type, and D cracking susceptibility. The results show the effects of D cracking, traffic level, pavement type, pavement thickness, and overlay thickness on performance of bare and resurfaced concrete pavements.

In previous studies, the performance of bare and resurfaced jointed reinforced concrete pavement (JRCP) and continuously reinforced concrete pavement (CRCP) on the Illinois freeway system was assessed by survival analyses. In this study, the 1994 data have been used to update the survival analysis of JRCP and CRCP and to carry out an initial survival analysis on the full depth asphalt sections (HMAC) of the Illinois freeway system. First and second asphalt concrete (AC) overlays were analyzed separately. Data for the survival analysis were retrieved from the Illinois Pavement Feedback System (IPFS) database. The Illinois freeway system consists of over 2,000 centerline miles (3,218 km) of heavily trafficked multiple-lane pavements which were constructed largely between 1957 and 1994. As of 1994, about 32% of these pavements had been overlaid once with AC ranging in thickness from 1.5 to 7.0 in. (3.8 to 17.8 cm). About 26% of these have been overlaid for the second time with AC ranging in thickness from 1.5 to 7 in. (3.8 to 17.8 cm).

This report presents guidelines for selection of rehabilitation strategies for asphalt-overlaid concrete (AC/PCC) pavements, summarizes the performance of second AC overlays of AC/PCC pavements on Illinois Interstates, and presents procedures for design of three types of overlays of AC/PCC pavements: second AC overlay; unbonded PCC overlay; and AC overlay of rubblized PCC with the existing AC removed. The overlay design procedures are based on the 1993 revised AASHTO overlay design procedures, customized for Illinois conditions. A practical catalog of rehabilitation designs is presented for AC/PCC pavements in various categories of condition, traffic level, and PCC pavement type.

More than 60% of Illinois' Interstate concrete pavements have already been overlaid with asphalt, and by some estimates nearly 100% of Illinois' Interstate system (excluding recently constructed and reconstructed sections) are expected to have been overlaid at least once by the year 2000. Evaluation and rehabilitation of asphalt-overlaid concrete (AC/PCC) pavements have therefore become increasingly prominent and pressing concerns. Project IHR-532 is a cooperative research study between the Illinois Department of Transportation and the University of Illinois entitled "Rehabilitation of Asphalt-Overlaid Concrete Pavements". The objective of this study is to develop practical guidelines for evaluation and rehabilitation of AC/PCC pavements. These guidelines have been developed and presented in five reports which encompass AC/PCC pavement deterioration and survival, evaluation, rehabilitation, and selected case studies. This final report presents a summary of these guidelines.

This report demonstrates the application of the AC/PCC pavement evaluation and rehabilitation guidelines to several in-service case studies. The case studies were used throughout this research study to develop, test, and revise the evaluation and rehabilitation guidelines. The product of this iterative development effort is a step-by-step process for selection and design of appropriate rehabilitation strategies for AC/PCC pavements. The case study analyses also demonstrate the difficulty of complete project-level evaluation, the need for accurate and up-to-date data (especially condition data), and the importance of experience and good engineering judgment in the many decisions which must be made regarding pavement rehabilitation planning and design.
