Book excerpt: Composite pavement systems have shown the potential for becoming a cost-effective pavement alternative for highways with high and heavy traffic volumes, especially in Europe. This study investigated the design and performance of composite pavement structures composed of a flexible layer (top-most layer) over a rigid base. The report compiles (1) a literature review of composite pavement systems in the U.S. and worldwide; (2) an evaluation of the state-of-the-practice in the U.S. obtained using a survey; (3) an investigation of technical aspects of various alternative composite pavement systems designed using available methodologies and mechanistic-empirical pavement distress models (fatigue, rutting, and reflective cracking); and (4) a preliminary life cycle cost analysis (LCCA) to study the feasibility of the most promising composite pavement systems. Composite pavements, when compared to traditional flexible or rigid pavements, have the potential to become a cost-effective alternative because they may provide better levels of performance, both structurally and functionally, than the traditional flexible and rigid pavement designs. Therefore, they can be viable options for high volume traffic corridors. Countries, such as the U.K. and Spain, which have used composite pavement systems in their main road networks, have reported positive experiences in terms of functional and structural performance. Composite pavement structures can provide long-life pavements that offer good serviceability levels and rapid, cost-effective maintenance operations, which are highly desired, especially for high-volume, high-priority corridors. Composite pavements mitigate various structural and functional problems that typical flexible or rigid pavements tend to present, such as hot-mix asphalt (HMA) fatigue cracking, subgrade rutting, portland cement concrete (PCC) erosion, and PCC loss of friction, among others. At the same time, though, composite systems are potentially more prone to other distresses, such as reflective cracking and rutting within the HMA layer. Premium HMA surfaces and/or reflective cracking mitigation techniques may be required to mitigate these potential problems. At the economic level, the results of the deterministic agency-cost LCCA suggest that the use of a composite pavement with a cement-treated base (CTB) results in a cost-effective alternative for a typical interstate traffic scenario. Alternatively, a composite pavement with a continuously reinforced concrete pavement (CRCP) base may become more cost-effective for very high volumes of traffic. Further, in addition to savings in agency cost, road user cost savings could also be important, especially for the HMA over CRCP composite pavement option because it would not require any lengthy rehabilitation actions, as is the case for the typical flexible and rigid pavements.

This book was released on 2018-05-26 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Premature cracking in asphalt pavements and overlays continues to shorten pavement lifecycles and creates significant economic and environmental burden. In response, RILEM Technical Committee TC 241-MCD on Mechanisms of Cracking and Debonding in Asphalt and Composite Pavements has conducted a State-of-the-Art Review (STAR), as detailed in this comprehensive book. Cutting-edge research performed by RILEM members and their international partners is presented, along with summaries of open research questions and recommendations for future research. This book is organized according to the theme areas of TC 241-MCD - i.e., fracture in the asphalt bulk material, interface debonding behaviour, and advanced measurement systems. This STAR is expected to serve as a long term reference for researchers and practitioners, as it contributes to a deeper fundamental understanding of the mechanisms behind cracking and debonding in asphalt concrete and composite pavement systems.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 25 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper summarizes the construction and early performance assessment of an exposed aggregate surface on a composite pavement test cell (cell 72) at MnROAD. Although exposed aggregate surfaces and composite pavement systems have become extremely popular in Europe, they are a relatively new concept in the United States. The performance of the exposed aggregate surface is compared to that in the two other composite pavement cells at MnROAD: cell 70, hot mix asphalt (HMA) over a recycled aggregate concrete, and cell 71, diamond grind concrete over recycled aggregate concrete. The strength, tire pavement noise (on board sound intensity), sound absorption, friction, texture, and international roughness index were tested. The results suggest that the exposed aggregate concrete surface does not provide significant noise reduction. Innovative diamond grinding of composite pavements might be beneficial for noise reduction. Exposed aggregate surfacing can provide more than adequate friction for driver safety, but it does not show any improvement relative to typical HMA or diamond ground surfaces. Exposed aggregate surfaces have a texture (or mean profile depth) similar to that of traditional diamond ground surfaces but might be detrimental to the ride quality. Continued monitoring of these test cells will aid the development of a wide understanding of exposed aggregate surfaces and composite pavements needed for more effective design and accurate service life models.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Strategic Highway Research Program 2 (SHRP2) identified composite pavement as a “renewal solution” to support for implementation, and the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) received funding to demonstrate its potential. In 2017, this funding was applied to support major rehabilitation of two westbound lanes of US 60 in Henrico County, Virginia, a project that essentially replaced 1.1 miles of deteriorated concrete pavement with a new composite system consisting of continuously reinforced concrete pavement (CRCP) overlaid with stone matrix asphalt (SMA). This new composite pavement was designed in accordance with the 1993 AASHTO Guide for Design of Pavement Structures and was constructed in accordance with VDOT specifications and standards existing at the time. During construction, material properties were characterized to enable mechanistic-empirical (ME) analysis, and AASHTOWare Pavement ME Design software was then used to analyze the pavement again using the “asphalt concrete overlay over CRCP” option as suggested in the SHRP2 research. Because of the low truck traffic count on US 60, the predicted distresses for a 30-year design life were found to be very low compared to an analysis that uses the Pavement ME Design software default criteria. Through-the-thickness temperature changes were also monitored and it was found that the asphalt overlay provides an insulating effect for the underlying concrete, hence reducing the curling and thermal stresses in the concrete pavement. SHRP2 researchers suggested that the thickness of the concrete portion of a composite pavement could usually be 1 to 3 in less than that of a plain (bare) concrete for comparable performance. Similar trends were observed for a higher truck traffic scenario in this study when a composite pavement (CRCP overlaid with SMA) was analyzed using the Pavement ME Design software. VDOT maintains more than 500 lane-miles of CRCP that has been overlaid with asphalt at an average age of 26 years. These pavements, now considered “composite” pavements, are still in service, often after multiple asphalt mill and replace operations, with some as old as 52 years. The average life of these overlays is 10 to 15 years, with the combination of CRCP and SMA often providing 16 to 23 years per cycle. The main distress mechanisms in a composite pavement are reflective cracking and rutting. The natural cracking and rut resistance of SMA therefore make it an ideal option for the asphalt component of a composite system. Such a design will protect the concrete base before any distresses have developed while also moderating thermal stresses (the insulating effect). The prospects for superior long-term service with low maintenance costs are excellent.

This book was released on 2008 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ODOT initiated this research study to determine (1) the impact of milling off portions of the existing pavement on the structural capacity of the remaining pavement and (2) whether currently recommended HMA structural coefficients adequately reflect the structural properties of new HMA overlay materials. The study mainly focused on the impact of milling on the design of HMA overlays over existing flexible pavements and composite pavements. Volume I of the report deals with this main study focus area. During the course of the study, an additional focus area was added to the project to investigate the impact of completely milling off existing HMA layers in composite pavement systems on unbonded overlay design. Volume II of this report deals with impact of milling on unbonded overlays. Volume I describes the structural evaluation of individual flexible and composite pavement projects located at different sites throughout Ohio, as well as an analysis of the evaluation results to develop enhancements to the ODOT HMA overlay design procedure as needed. The report presents detailed descriptions of the projects evaluated, field testing procedures employed, procedures adopted for analyzing field testing data and other data collected, structural evaluation results, analysis of results, and recommendations for improvements of the current ODOT overlay design procedure. Volume II presents descriptions of the data collected, data analysis, observations, and recommendations for improvements of the current ODOT overlay design procedure.

This book was released on 2016-05-25 with total page 774 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents the latest advances in research to analyze mechanical damage and its detection in multilayer systems. The contents are linked to the Rilem TC241 - MCD scientific activities and the proceedings of the 8th RILEM International Conference on Mechanisms of Cracking and Debonding in Pavements (MCD2016). MCD2016 was hosted by Ifsttar and took place in Nantes, France, on June 7-9, 2016. In their lifetime, pavements undergo degradation due to different mechanisms of which cracking is among the most important ones. The damage and the fracture behavior of all its material layers as well as interfaces must be understood. In that field, the research activities aims to develop a deeper fundamental understanding of the mechanisms responsible for cracking and debonding in asphalt concrete and composite (e.g. asphalt overlays placed on PCC or thin cement concrete overlay placed on asphalt layer) pavement systems.
