MATERIALS AND PROCEDURES FOR REPAIR OF JOINT SEALS IN PORTLAND CEMENT CONCRETE PAVEMENTS -- MANUAL OF PRACTICE
The Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP) H-106 maintenance experiment and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Long-Term Monitoring (LTM) of Pavement Maintenance Materials Test Sites project studied the resealing of joints in concrete pavements. Many different sealant materials and resealing methods were investigated between 1991 and 1998 through test sites installed at five locations in the United States. The findings of these combined studies have been merged with standard highway agency procedures to provide the most useful and up-to-date information on the practice of concrete joint resealing. This Manual of Practice is an updated version of the 1993 SHRP Joint Seal Repair Manual. It contains the latest information pertaining to the performance of sealants and resealing methods, the availability and relative costs of sealant materials, and the proper ways of planning, designing, constructing, and monitoring the performance of joint resealing projects. It also provides an updated partial listing of material and equipment manufacturers. This Manual is intended for field and office personnel within highway maintenance agencies and contracted maintenance firms. It contains valuable information for supervisors and foremen in charge of individual resealing operations, engineers in charge of planning and overseeing many joint resealing projects, and managers in charge of establishing resealing policies and standards.
