CONCRETE IN LOCAL PAVING - AN OVERVIEW

Concrete pavement for streets differs substantially, both in design and construction, from highway and Interstate projects. For example, almost without exception streets are unreinforced, undowelled pavement. Thicknesses may range from 5 inches for lightly traveled residential streets to 8 inches for streets used by heavy commercial vehicles. Cities and counties are usually guided by the procedures or standards in their state. In general, these standards and procedures originate from the Federal Highway Administration and the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials. The following discussion of street paving was adapted from a series of papers assembled by the Portland Cement Association.
