DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF CONCRETE RESURFACING OF CONCRETE PAVEMENTS

PARTIALLY BONDED AND UNBONDED CONCRETE RESURFACING MAY BE PLAIN, MESH-DOWEL, OR CONTINUOUSLY REINFORCED. FIELD PROJECTS TO DETERMINE THE FULL POTENTIAL OF CRC RESURFACING WITH RANDOM CRACKING AND CONTROLLED CRACKING BY ELASTIC JOINTS ARE NEEDED, ALONG WITH DOCUMENTATION OF PERFORMANCE HISTORY OF THE RESURFACING TYPES BY RELATING SMOOTHNESS OF RIDE TO TRAFFIC CARRIED AND AGE OF RESURFACING. APPRAISAL OF OF THE PERFORMANCE OF PARTIALLY BONDED AND UNBONDED CONCRETE RESURFACING INDICATES THE FOLLOWING: (1) THICKNESS MUST BE ADEQUATE FOR SERVICE CONDITIONS; (2) JOINTS, BOTH LONGITUDINAL AND TRANSVERSE, AND CRACKS MUST HAVE THE CAPACITY TO TRANSFER APPLIED LOADS WITHOUT LOSS OF SURFACE SMOOTHNESS; (3) REINFORCEMENT MUST HAVE ADEQUATE COVER FOR EXPOSURE CONDITIONS AND SHOULD BE OF A SIZE AND SPACING TO OBTAIN ADEQUATE LOAD TRANSFER ACROSS ALL CRACKS; AND (4) SUITABLE CONCRETE, FOR THE SERVICE CONDITIONS, IS MANDATORY. /AUTHOR/
