CONCRETE PAVEMENT REHABILITATION - GUIDE FOR DIAMOND GRINDING
This Technical Bulletin recommends procedures for selecting, designing, and construction of diamond grinding in portland cement concrete pavements. Diamond grinding consists of removing surface irregularities from concrete pavements that are often caused by faulting, curling, and warping of the slabs. The main benefits of properly using this technique include smoother ride, reduced road noise, and improved friction. Diamond grinding can be used as a stand-alone rehabilitation technique. However, the Federal Highway Administration recommends its use as part of a comprehensive Concrete Pavement Rehabilitation program. Information regarding cost and performance is also included in this document.
