Introductory technical guidance for civil engineers and construction managers interested in resurfacing continuously reinforced portland cement concrete pavement for streets and highways.

The performance of CRCP has revealed a number of failure modes that are traceable to design, construction, materials, and maintenance deficiencies and such other factors as environemntal conditions and traffic loadings. This report of the Transportation Research Board includes a review of the cumulative experiences of state that have constructed and maintained CRCP. Guidelines for repair techniques are included, and areas of needed research are identified.

Continuously reinforced concrete pavement (CRCP) is enjoying a renaissance across the United States and around the world. CRCP has the potential to provide a long-term, "zero-maintenance," service life under heavy traffic loadings and challenging environmental conditions, provided proper design and quality construction practices are utilised. This book provides an overview of the CRCP technology and the major developments that have led to what are referred to herein as the "best practices" for CRCP design and construction. The purpose of this book is to provide the best practices information on rehabilitation strategies for extending the service life of continuously reinforced concrete pavements (CRCP). The procedures described in this book consist of defining the problem, identifying potential solutions, and selecting the preferred alternatives.

This report details the results of an in-depth study of methods and costs of repairing failures in continuously reinforced concrete pavement. The study was conducted in 1977 by teams of Engineers from four States: Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas. Similarities were revealed in the methods of repair used by maintenance personnel in the four States. Subtle differences were also discovered which can be considered for implementation by all of the participants and others to improve their maintenance techniques.

Introductory technical guidance for civil engineers, highway engineers and other professional engineers and construction managers interested in overlays for continuously reinforced portland cement concrete pavements. Here is what is discussed: 1. INTRODUCTION, 2. TYPES OF OVERLAYS INVOLVING CRC PAVEMENT, 3. GENERAL APPROACHES TO OVERLAY DESIGN, 4. CRC OVERLAY TYPES AND PERFORMANCE.
