PORTLAND CEMENT CONCRETE PAVEMENT PULVERIZING EQUIPMENT. TECHNICAL SUMMARY

This summary announces the key findings of a Federal Highway Administration research project that determined whether the need and the technology exist to develop more effective and more efficient portland cement concrete (PCC) pavement equipment. The study included a literature review and interviews to precisely define the construction operations currently used, the requirements for breaking and sizing equipment, and the potential market demand for the equipment. The various factors involved in determining the need and the cost-effectiveness of the production of improved PCC pulverizing equipment was also examined. The research project is fully documented in a separate report of the same title (FHWA-TS-85-224).
