PRESTRESSED CONCRETE OVERLAY AT O'HARE INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT: IN-SERVICE EVALUATION

A 240-m (800-ft) prestressed concrete overlay was placed on the 27L end of runway 9R-27L at Chicago O'Hare International Airport. The overlay consisted of two 120 x 46-m (400 x 150-ft) sections 20 or 23 cm (8 or 9 in) thick. The pavement was posttensioned by using a fully bonded bar system. Conventional paving and tensioning equipment was used, and the cost and time of construction were comparable with those of conventional paving systems of portland cement concrete. (Author)
