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: Emphasizing sound, cost-effective management rather than emergency repairs, this comprehensive volume offers practical guidelines on evaluating and managing pavements for airports, roads, and parking lots. The author focuses on the implementation and maintenance of successful management strategies for both network and project levels, with repair techniques also described . Detailed chapters: 1) outline step-by-step procedures for project and network level pavement management 2) illustrate effective cost analysis and budget planning for pavement maintenance 3) guide the reader in the selection and use of non-destructive deflection, roughness measurement, and friction measurement equipment 4) present state-of-the-art pavement rehabilitation and condition prediction techniques 5) demonstrates the Pavement Condition Index (PCI) procedure for airfields and surfaced and unsurfaced roads. Extensive appendices serve as a field manual for identifying all types of pavement distress and their causes, and hundred of photographs facilitate accurate pavement evaluation. Civil and pavement engineers will find complete information on pavement inspection, evaluation, and management in this indispensable reference.
