REHABILITATION OF CONCRETE PAVEMENTS BY USING PORTLAND CEMENT CONCRETE OVERLAYS

Pavement management is the collection and use of information required to assure that decisions are made that will result in good roads at the lowest possible cost. To effectively manage pavements, it is necessary that highway managers understand and control the many variables that effect pavement life. The paper discusses recent studies on deferred maintenance and from states starting to use pavement management methodology. It points out that considerable savings can be realized by properly timing the rehabilitation of pavement surfaces. The paper then reviews pavement management currently practiced in New Mexico. slabs have also been used as overlays. Not all combinations of overlays and levels of bondings are compatible with all pavement types and all levels of distress. Thus each job must be evaluated as a separate project that uses the appropriate constraints. To evaluate the relative merits of the different types of overlays, a systematic approach to decision making must be used. The limitations and constraints of the different types of PCC overlays are discussed and a possible decision-criterion approach is described for use in evaluating the best overlay alternative.
