SYMPOSIUM ON PCC PAVEMENT REHABILITATION WITH HMA DRAWS NATONAL AUDIENCE

The National Symposium on Rehabilitation of PCC Pavements Using Hot Mix Asphalt Overlays (October 1991), in St Louis, Missouri is reviewed. The opening remarks recommended increased cooperation between the private and public sectors in working toward solutions to better roadways. Other presentations covered several aspects of HMA use. The most important presentation was the study on methodologies for rehabilitating pcc (portland cement concrete) pavements which included data on cracking and seating, breaking and seating, and rubblizing pcc pavements followed by HMA overlays. Sawing and seating of HMA overlays on pcc pavements and economic considerations for each were also discussed. Other presentations covered the Strategic Highway Research Program's Long Term Pavement Program (LTPP), including HMA overlays, etc. Progresss on the Federal Highway Administration's Project 202, 'Break and Seat of Jointed Reinforced Concrete Pavement,' was reported. Work on revision of AASHTO's pavement design guide was discussed, as well as guidelines for HMA overlays on pcc pavements and current design proceudres.
