Background
• Focus on full-depth, large scale
pavement construction for new
pavements or removal and replacement
of existing deteriorated pavements.
• Overnight or weekend construction time
frame
• Extended design life compared to
conventional PCC pavements
Background
• Benefits
– Expedited construction Reduced User Costs
Background
• Benefits
– Expedited construction Reduced User Costs
– Reduced pavement thickness
(prestressed pavement)
– Controlled concrete fabrication conditions
Improved performance
Proposed Concept
• Surface preparation
• 2” ACP layer as leveling course, plane/grind
if necessary
• Place single layer of polyethylene as friction
reducing membrane
• Joints
– Epoxy – similar to segmental bridge
