Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This synthesis will be of interest to pavement designers, maintenance engineers, and others interested in reducing reflection cracking of asphalt overlays on portland cement concrete (PCC) pavement. Information is presented on the technique of breaking or cracking of the concrete pavement into small segments before overlaying with asphalt concrete. Asphalt concrete overlays on existing PCC pavements are subject to reflection cracking induced by thermal movements of PCC pavement. This report of the Transportation Research Board discusses the technique of breaking/cracking and seating of the existing PCC before an overlay as a means to reduce or eliminate reflection cracking.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Asphalt concrete overlays of a jointed or cracked portland cement concrete (PCC) pavement can develop reflective cracking because of either horizontal or vertical movement of the PCC. One method that can be used to reduce reflective cracking is to crack and seat the PCC prior to placement of the asphalt concrete overlay. The description, applicability, benefits, limitations, costs, recommended uses, and location of demonstration sites for cracking and seating technology are discussed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the fall of 1984, the Kansas Department of Transportation constructed a project involving cracking, seating, and overlaying a portland cement concrete pavement. The project is located in Wyandotte County on K-7 highway, north of K-32. This project is on the west side of the Kansas City metropolitan area. Eight experimental sections and one control section were stipulated for this project. One section of regular construction was selected for the control section. Four of the eight test sections were designated to be cracked at 0.9 m (3 ft) centers, and the other four were cracked at 1.5 m (5 ft) centers. One half of each spacing pattern was saw cut at the quarter points of the 18.7 m (61.5 ft) panels [approximately 4.6 m (15 ft) spacing, minimum 127 mm (5 in.) deep, maximum 13 mm (0.5 in.) wide] prior to cracking. Four sections had minimal joint repair; four had normal joint patching. There have been no easy determinants as to why the transverse cracking is low in some sections, and high in others. In some years it appears to be one factor, but the next year the factor has appeared to change. After 10 years there is no difference attributable to the cracking spacing, probably because both spacings are too large to adequately distribute the thermal movements. Slightly better performance was noted in sections that have minimal joint patching. More recent projects have used rubblizing as a rehabilitation technique. These have not shown significantly better performance than the cracking method. More investigation needs to be done to quantify the effect of various components that are used in this technique.

This book was released on 2006 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report presents the details of a study conducted by Infrastructure Management and Engineering (INFRAME) to review condition of selected break and seat (B/S) and rubblization projects constructed by Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT), and also to demonstrate the ability of various pavement breakers to produce desired breaking patterns and fractured particle sizes required by ODOT specifications. A program of field evaluations was undertaken on four test projects. The pavement on SR-4 was rehabilitated in 1993 by breaking the underlying jointed reinforced concrete pavement with a pile hammer prior to constructing an asphalt overlay. The pavement on SR-36 project was rehabilitated in 1992 by rubblizing the existing jointed concrete pavement with a Resonant Pavement Breaker (RPB) and constructing an asphalt overlay. The continuous concrete pavement on I-70 was rubblized in 2005 with a Multi Head Breaker (MHB), in preparation for an initial asphalt overlay. On the I-71 project, MHB was used to demolish the existing jointed reinforced concrete pavement and demonstrate the capabilities of MHB to produce various fracturing patterns. At each test site, a test pit was dug and a visual assessment of the condition of the fractured pavement overlay and subbase/subgrade was made. Measurements were made of the fracturing pattern at the surface of the concrete and gradation tests were performed to determine the particle size distribution at various depths within the fractured slab. Deflection tests were performed to determine the effect of the observed breaking patterns on the stiffness of the pavement layers. Examination of test pit material indicated that the pile hammer used in constructing the B/S sections on the SR-4 project did not provide the vertical through cracking and steel debonding required by the project specifications. Despite this, the overlay on the B/S section provided vastly superior reflection crack performance than the untreated control section. The MHB equipment used on I-70 appeared capable of providing the breaking patterns and particle sizes required by ODOT specifications. However, the MHB equipment used on I-71 by a different contractor did not produce the desired results; a significant amount of large, un-cracked pieces were observed particularly below the reinforcing steel, regardless of desired breaking pattern. On the other hand, the Resonant Pavement Breaker (RPB) equipment used on SR-36 produced fractured particle size distribution and steel debonding required by ODOT specifications. The principal recommendation of the study is to improve ODOT's specifications for fractured slab techniques. On all types of fracturing projects, the quality control requirements need to be modified to require that test pits be more frequently used to ensure that the specified particle size distributions are in fact being achieved throughout the depth of the slab. On rubblize projects, the present particle size distribution requirements need to be re-examined to ensure that the fracturing operation will avoid, not merely delay, reflection cracking in the subsequent overlay.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report presents details of a study conducted to evaluate the long term performance of asphalt overlays on broken and seated (B/S) concrete pavements, using field expe riments. The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of breaking and seating as a reh abilitation strateg y for retarding reflection crac king in asphalt concrete (AC) overlays on jointed reinforced concrete pavements. Test sections were constructed by milling the original AC layer, breaking and seating the concrete slabs and constructing new AC overlays. Control sec tions were co nstructed ad jacent to the B /S sections in the same way, but without breaking the underlying concrete slabs. The test sections carried a large volume of traffic. The original pavements selected in this study were fairly uniform with respect to their structural and surface conditions. Two types of pavement breakers were used in this study, namely guillotine and pile hammer. The extent of breaking was closely monitored. The performance of the test sections was monitored for a total period of nine years. The monitoring data included deflection measurements, crack mapping, a pavement condition surveys and roughness surveys on the original pavement and on the overlay. The results, in general, strongly indicate an improved performance of AC overlays on broken and seated concrete pavements. The B/S treatment has a significant effect on the structural response and behavior of the resulting pavement. Breaking the concrete slabs into smaller pieces resulted in a reduction in the flexural strength, an increase in the surface deflection (50% to 100%), and a decrease in AREA and Spreadability (20 to 30%). Breaking and seating has been extremely effective in delaying and minimizing reflection cracking. Hence, the breaking and seating procedure does indeed result in improved pavement performance. Ultimately, economics and serviceability will govern its use, based on the length of time future maintenance and rehabilitation is deferred.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Deterioration in Portland Cement Concrete (PCC) pavements can occur due to distresses caused by a combination of traffic loads and weather conditions. Hot mix asphalt (HMA) overlay is the most commonly used rehabilitation technique for such deteriorated PCC pavements. However, the performance of these HMA overlaid pavements is hindered due to the occurrence of reflective cracking, resulting in significant reduction of pavement serviceability. Various fractured slab techniques, including rubblization, crack and seat, and break and seat are used to minimize reflective cracking by reducing the slab action. The main objective of this project is to develop a mechanistic-empirical (ME) design aproach for the HMA overlay thickness design for fractured PCC pavements. In this design procedure, failure criteria such as the tensile strain at the bottom of HMA layer and the vertical compressive strain on the surface of subgrade are used to consider HMA fatigue and subgrade rutting, respectively. The developed ME design system is also implemented in a Visual Basic computer program.
